From: Nuclear Factor 90, a cellular dsRNA binding protein inhibits the HIV Rev-export function
Subcellular localization of the Rev and NF90ctv proteins observed by fluorescence microscopy in confocal optical sections. HeLa cells were transfected with pGFP/NF90 or pGFP/Rev and GFP was visualized with an Argon laser at 488 nm. NF90 localized in the nucleus and nucleolus; Rev localized in the nucleus, nucleolus and cytoplasm (panels a and b). To study the effect of NF90ctv on Rev localization, HeLa cells were cotransfected with both expression vectors and the proteins were observed in confocal optical sections; the mRFP was visualized using a Krypton laser at 568 nm. Both protein colocalized in the similar subcellular compartments (c'-c''; d'-d'' are the same as c'-c'''). In the presence of 50 ng/ml of LMB and both proteins localized mostly in the nucleolus. Bar = 5 μm.
