Study 1: HIV-1 Rev multimerizes in the nucleolus of living cells.
"Nuclear export of intron-containing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA is mediated by the viral Rev protein. Rev is a nucleocytoplasmic transport protein that directly binds to its cis-acting Rev-responsive element RNA. Rev function depends on its ability to multimerize.
"The in vivo dynamics and the subcellular dependence of this process are still largely unexplored. To visualize and quantitatively analyze the mechanism of Rev multimeric assembly in live cells, we used high...
