The Rex regulatory proteins of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and bovine leukemia virus (BLV), and the Rev protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), promote the cytoplasmic accumulation and translation of viral messenger mRNAs encoding structural proteins. Rev and Rex act through cis-acting elements on the viral RNA; these elements are named Rev- and Rex-responsive elements, or RRE and RXRE, respectively. We show that the Rex proteins of HTLV-I and BLV are interchangeable, but only the Rex protein of HTLV-I can substitute for Rev of HIV-1. Rex of HTLV-I and Rev of HIV-1 appear to act on RRE by similar mechanisms. Rev of HIV-1 does not act on the RXRE of HTLV-I or BLV. The nonreciprocal action of Rev and Rex suggests that these factors interact directly with the cis-acting RNA elements of the two viruses. |
