From: Nuclear Factor 90, a cellular dsRNA binding protein inhibits the HIV Rev-export function
Interaction between the NF90ctv RG- domain and Rev by affinity chromatography. (A) The GST/RG- recombinant protein was expressed in E. coli, the cell extracts coupled to a glutathione-Sepharose 4B column was used in pull-down assays with HeLa cell extracts previously transfected with pRSV/Rev (lane 4) or the control lysate (lane 3). A protein band corresponding to Rev (arrowhead, lane 4) was detected when extracts from HeLa cells that expressed Rev were added to the GST/RG- protein bound column; such a band was absent from control HeLa cell extract (lane 3). Lane 1, GST/RG- purified from E. coli induced by IPTG, and lane 2, purified from non induced E. coli cells. (B) Similar assays performed with purified Rev protein from E. coli in place of HeLa cells extracts. Arrow in lane 5 indicates the position of Rev. This band was not observed in absence of Rev (lane 6).
