Abstract HIV-1 structural proteins are translated from incompletely spliced 9 kb and 4 kb mRNAs which are transported to the cytoplasm by Crm1. It has been assumed that once in the cytoplasm translation of incompletely spliced HIV-1 mRNAs occurs in the same manner as host mRNAs. Previous analyses have demonstrated that Sam68 and a mutant thereof Sam68AC have dramatic effects on HIV gene expression strongly enhancing and inhibiting viral structural protein synthesis respectively. While investigating the inhibition of incompletely spliced HIV-1 mRNAs by Sam68AC we determined that the effect was independent of the perinuclear bundling of the viral RNA. Inhibition was dependent upon the nuclear export pathway used as translation of viral RNA exported via the Tap CTE export pathway was not blocked by Sam68AC. We demonstrate that inhibition of HIV expression by Sam68AC is correlated
