Abstract excerpt
An important goal of contemporary HIV type 1 (HIV-1) research is to identify cellular cofactors required for viral replication. The HIV-1 Rev protein facilitates the cytoplasmic accumulation of the intron-containing viral gag-pol and env mRNAs and is required for viral replication. We have previously shown that a cellular protein, human Rev-interacting protein (hRIP), is an essential Rev cofactor that promotes...
