Abstract

The HIV-1 REV protein binds to the stem II region of the REV-responsive element (RNA). Studies to further define the RNA sequence and structure specifically bound by REV protein identify a minimal RNA element of 40 nucleotides. Analysis of RNA fragments by gel retardation and filter binding suggest that a core element composed of one particular stem with flanking sequences capable of forming a second double stranded region is essential for specific recognition by REV protein. Stable REV-RNA complexes are formed in a stoichiometry of 1 REV: 1 RNA. The minimal RNA element binds 1 REV molecule while the stem II saturates at 3 REV molecules per RNA. These results establish that REV recognizes a primary binding site within the RRE and support the notion that the initial viral transcript binding event involves a monomeric REV protein.
