TAR RNA binding protein, TRBP, was recently discovered to be an essential partner for Dicer and a crucial component of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC), a critical element of the cells RNA interference (RNAi) apparatus. Human TRBP was originally characterized and cloned fifteen years ago based on its high affinity for binding the HIV-1 encoded leader RNA, TAR. RNAi is used, in part, by cells to defend against infection by viruses. Here, we report that transfected TAR RNA can attenuate the RNAi machinery in human cells. Our data suggest that TAR RNA sequesters TRBP rendering it unavailable for downstream Dicer-RISC complexes. TAR-induced inhibition of Dicer-RISC activity in transfected cells was partially relieved by exogenous expression of TRBP.
