BACKGROUND: The HIV-1 Rev regulatory protein binds as an oligomeric complex to viral RNA mediating nuclear export of incompletely spliced and non-spliced viral mRNAs encoding the viral structural proteins.

RESULTS: The activity of various fusion proteins based on the negative oligomerization-defect Rev...
