From the RNA helicase A (RHA) has two double-stranded (ds)
RNA-binding domains (dsRBD1 and dsRBD2). These domains are conserved
with the cis-acting transactivation response element
(TAR)-binding protein (TRBP) and dsRNA-activated protein kinase (PKR).
TRBP and PKR are involved in the regulation of HIV-1 gene expression through their binding to TAR RNA. This study shows that RHA also plays
an important role in TAR-mediated HIV-1 gene expression. Wild-type RHA
preferably bound to TAR RNA in vitro and in
vivo. Overexpression of wild type RHA strongly enhanced viral
mRNA synthesis and virion production as well as HIV-1 long terminal
repeat-directed reporter (luciferase) gene expression. Substitution of
lysine for glutamate at residue 236 in dsRBD2 (RHAK236E)
reduced its affinity for TAR RNA and impaired HIV-1 transcriptional
activity. These results indicate that TAR RNA is a preferred target of
RHA dsRBDs and that RHA enhances HIV-1 transcription in
vivo in part through the TAR-binding of RHA.
