The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein
Rev moves repeatedly between the cytoplasm, a perinuclear zone, the
nucleoli, and nucleoplasmic speckles. In this study, we demonstrated by
both indirect immunofluorescence and Western immunoblot analysis that
nuclear exit of Rev transdominant negative mutants was defective compared
with that of wild-type Rev. The basic and activation domains of Rev signal
import and export, respectively, of Rev across the nuclear membrane. In
cotransfection experiments, mutants containing mutations of Rev inhibited
the nuclear egress of wild-type Rev, thus revealing a novel transdominant
negative phenotype.

Nuclear export of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein Rev is mediated by its activation domain and is blocked by transdominant negative mutants
