ABSTRACT:
Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV/SIVs) contain, in addition to the canonical gag/pol/env genes, additional small open reading frames (ORFs) encoding gene products, including the 96-amino acid 15-kDa virion-associated HIV-1 Vpr gene product. Vpr functions as a regulator of cellular processes related to HIV replication. A biologically active recombinant HIV-1 Vpr protein was employed as a ligand to identify its cognate cellular target(s). A novel 41-kDa cytosolic viral protein R interacting protein, designated Rip-1, was identified using the recited assay. Rip-1 displays a wide-tissue distribution, including relevant targets of HIV infection. HIV-1 Vpr induced nuclear translocation of Rip-1. This invention provides novel biochemical reagents and methods that will facilitate the identification of antiviral agents.
