RESUMO

Adenovirus late mRNA export is facilitated by viral early proteins of 55 and 34 kDa. The 34-kDa protein contains a leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) similar to that of the human immunodeficiency virus Rev protein. It was proposed that the 34-kDa protein might facilitate the export of adenovirus late mRNA through a Rev-like NES-mediated export pathway. We have tested the role of NES-mediated RNA export during adenovirus infection, and we find that it is not essential for the expression of adenovirus late genes.
