HIV-1 Rev is an accessory protein that plays a key role in nuclear exportation,stabilization,and translation of the viral mRNAs.Rev of HIV-1 clade BC often shows a truncation of 16 AAs due to a premature stop codon at residue 101.This stop codon presents the highest frequency in clade BC and the lowest frequency in clade B.In order to discover the potential biological effect of this truncation on Rev activity and virus replication of clade BC,we constructed Rev expression vectors of clade BC with or without 16 AAs within C-terminal separately,and replaced the stop codon by Q in a CRF07_BC infectious clone.We found that 16 AAs truncation had no effect on expression and activity of Rev in clade BC.Also,the mutation from the stop codon to Q had no effect on virus replication of clade BC.Next,to investigate the effect of this truncation on Rev activity and replication capacity of clade B,Rev expression vectors of clade B carrying or lacking 16 AAs in C-terminal were constructed respectively,and residue Q at position 101 within Rev was substituted by the stop codon in a clade B infectious clone.It was found that 16 AAs truncation significantly down-regulated Rev expression and impaired clade B Rev activity.Furthermore,a Q-to-stop codon substitution within Rev significantly reduced viral replication fitness of clade B.These results indicate that the premature stop codon at residue 101 within Rev exerts diverse impact on viral replication among different HIV-1 clades.
