TARBP2

HIV-1, the causative agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), contains an RNA genome that produces a chromosomally integrated DNA during the replicative cycle. Activation of HIV-1 gene expression by the transactivator Tat is dependent on an RNA regulatory element (TAR) located downstream of the transcription initiation site. The protein encoded by this gene binds between the bulge and the loop of the HIV-1 TAR RNA regulatory element and activates HIV-1 gene expression in synergy with the viral Tat protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. This gene also has a pseudogene.

Interaction

Self-associates. Component of the RISC loading complex (RLC), or micro-RNA (miRNA) loading complex (miRLC), which is composed of DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2. Note that the trimeric RLC/miRLC is also referred to as RISC. Interacts with EIF2AK2/PKR and inhibits its protein kinase activity. Interacts with DHX9 and PRKRA. Interacts with DICER1, AGO2, MOV10, EIF6 and RPL7A (60S ribosome subunit); they form a large RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) (PubMed:17507929). (Microbial infection) Interacts with FTSJ3; forms a complex with FTSJ3 and HIV-1 TAR RNA. (Microbial infection) Interacts with ebolavirus VP30; this interaction, which occurs only in the presence of siRNA, prevents TARBP2 binding to DICER1 and thus allows the virus to counteract host RNA silencing. (Microbial infection) Interacts with ebolavirus VP35; this interaction prevents TARBP2 binding to DICER1 and thus allows the virus to counteract host RNA silencing.
