Abstract excerpt
The transactivating response (TAR) RNA-binding protein (TRBP) has been identified as a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein, which associates with a stem-loop region known as the TAR element in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). However, TRBP is also known to be an enhancer of RNA silencing, interacting with Dicer, an enzyme that belongs to the RNase III family. Dicer cleaves long dsRNA into small...
