Abstract excerpt
The viral transactivator proteins Rex and Rev are necessary for the expression of structural proteins of human T-cell leukemia virus type I and human immunodeficiency virus type 1, respectively. Although the interaction of Rex/Rev with a cellular cofactor(s) has been thought to be required for Rex/Rev action, there is no suitable system to search for the cofactor(s) in mammalian cells. We found that a Rex mutant,...
