Keywords: HIV REV RRE FUNCTION.png A diagram of Rev/RRE function HIV-1 RNA export In the early phase top transcribed viral RNAs 9kb are spliced down to 2kb before export One of these 2kb messages is translated to produce Rev which is then imported into the nucleus In the late phase bottom Rev binds the RRE of newly transcribed RNAs before splicing and exports the unspliced 9kb and partially spliced 4kb messages to the cytoplasm Translation of these messages produces late stage viral proteins 9 kb messages can also serve as genomes for new virions Transferred from http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia to Commons by User Sreejithk2000 using http //tools wikimedia de/~magnus/commonshelper php CommonsHelper 2011-07-27 Jdf2001 at http //en wikipedia org en wikipedia Cc-zero Original upload log page en wikipedia HIV_REV_RRE_FUNCTION png 2011-07-27 04 33 Jdf2001 588×384× 76650 bytes <nowiki>A diagram of Rev/RRE function</nowiki> RNA |
