Popis: TAR RNA-binding protein TRBP was originally isolated by its binding affinity for radiolabeled HIV-1 leader RNA. Subsequent studies have suggested that this protein is one member of a family of double-stranded RNA-binding proteins. Recent findings indicate that TRBP might function to antagonize the translational inhibitory effect that can be mediated through cellular protein kinase, PKR. Here, we report on the over-expression of a cDNA coding for TRBP in eukaryotic SF9 cells using baculovirus. We characterized the nuclear localization of TRBP in insect cells, and we demonstrate that TRBP co-immunoprecipitates with a protein in these cells antigenically related to human PKR.
