The HIV-1 Rev protein.
The nuclear export of intron-containing HIV-1 RNA is critically dependent on the activity of Rev, a virally encoded sequence-specific RNA-binding protein. Rev shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and harbors both a nuclear localization signal and a nuclear export signal. These essential peptide motifs have now been shown to function by accessing cellular signal-mediated pathways for n...
متن کاملInfluenza Virus Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1) Disrupts Interferon Signaling
Type I interferons (IFNs) function as the first line of defense against viral infections by modulating cell growth, establishing an antiviral state and influencing the activation of various immune cells. Viruses such as influenza have developed mechanisms to evade this defense mechanism and during infection with influenza A viruses, the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) encoded by the virus genome...
متن کاملMapping the Binding Interface between an HIV-1 Inhibiting Intrabody and the Viral Protein Rev
HIV-1 Rev is the key protein in the nucleocytoplasmic export and expression of the late viral mRNAs. An important aspect for its function is its ability to multimerize on these mRNAs. We have recently identified a llama single-domain antibody (Nb190) as the first inhibitor targeting the Rev multimerization function in cells. This nanobody is a potent intracellular antibody that efficiently inhi...
متن کاملApplying conserved peptides of NS1 Protein of avian influenza virus to differentiate infected from vaccinated chickens
Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious disease in poultry and outbreaks can have dramatic economic and health implications. For effective disease surveillance, rapid and sensitive assays are needed to detect antibodies against AI virus (AIV) proteins. In order to support eradication efforts of avian influenza (AI) infections in poultry, the implementation of “DIVA” vaccination strategies, ...
متن کاملAvian influenza virus NS1
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) of H5N1 and H9N2 subtypes have zoonotic and pandemic potential. 377 out of 633 human infections with H5N1 virus were fatal and human infections by H9N2 virus were infrequently reported to the World Health Organization. Some H9N2 viruses either possessed genes similar to the H5N1 virus or were claimed to donate gene segments to H5N1 virus. Both features were reporte...
