HIV-1 TAR RNA Subverts RNA Interference in Transfected Cells through Sequestration of TAR RNA-binding Protein, TRBP
4 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
TAR RNA-binding protein, TRBP, was recently discovered to be an essential partner for Dicer and a crucial component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a critical element of the RNA interference (RNAi) of the cell apparatus. Human TRBP was originally characterized and cloned 15 years ago based on its high affinity for binding the HIV-1 encoded leader RNA, TAR. RNAi is used, in part, by cells to defend...
