ABSTRACT:
A method of inhibiting transport of nucleic acids between the nucleus and cytoplasm of a cell is disclosed. In one embodiment, this method comprises the step of exposing a cell to a sufficient amount of vesicular stomatitis virus M protein such that the transport of RNA and protein through the nuclear envelope of the cell is impeded. A chimeric RNA capable of nuclear export is also disclosed.
