The Cellular RNA Export Receptor TAP/NXF1 Is Required for ICP27-Mediated Export of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 RNA, but the TREX Complex Adaptor Protein Aly/REF Appears To Be Dispensable

Abstract excerpt

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) protein ICP27 has been shown to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm and to bind viral RNA during infection. ICP27 was found to interact with the cellular RNA export adaptor protein Aly/REF, which is part of the TREX complex, and to relocalize Aly/REF to viral replication sites. ICP27 is exported to the cytoplasm through the export receptor TAP/NXF1, and ICP27 must be able to...
