Dynamic Post-Transcriptional Regulation of HIV-1 Gene Expression
Gene expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a highly regulated process. Basal transcription of the integrated provirus generates early transcripts that encode for the viral products Tat and Rev. Tat promotes the elongation of RNA polymerase while Rev mediates the nuclear export of viral RNAs that contain the Rev-responsive RNA element (RRE). These RNAs are exported fro...
متن کاملPost-Transcriptional Regulation of Papillomavirus Gene Expression
Papillomavirus genomes are transcribed as one large complex transcription unit with multiple promoters, two poly(A) sites (early and late), and considerable alternative splicing. As a result, there are multiple opportunities for post-transcriptional regulation of papillomavirus gene expression. Although this area has not been as extensively studied as transcriptional regulation, there are a few...
متن کاملTranscriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of HIV-1 gene expression.
Control of HIV-1 gene expression depends on two viral regulatory proteins, Tat and Rev. Tat stimulates transcription elongation by directing the cellular transcriptional elongation factor P-TEFb to nascent RNA polymerases. Rev is required for the transport from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of the unspliced and incompletely spliced mRNAs that encode the structural proteins of the virus. Molecula...
متن کاملNovel pathways of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of post-integrative HIV-1 latency
Methods We identified several levels of transcriptional and posttranscriptional control of viral genes expression. By looking at the organization of chromatin at the site of integration by chromatin conformation capture and in situ hybridization, we found that chromatin imposes silencing in a highly specific spatial and temporal pattern. We also identified several cellular factors that interact...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional regulation of pro-inflammatory gene expression
The cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha is a vital mediator of the innate immune response, and a pleiotropic regulator of cellular function. Its involvement in rheumatoid arthritis is illustrated by the clinical benefits of TNF alpha blockade. Post-transcriptional regulation (the control of mRNA stability and translation) appears to play a critical role in the regulation of TNF alpha exp...
