Abstract

Review summarises recent data related to the role and function of the auxiliary regulatory genes nef, vpu, vpr, vif, tat and rev of HIV-1 in viral replication. We devoted attention rather to the tat, rev, nef and their products as to the main regulators of the realization of HIV-1 lentiviral genome. Possible mechanisms of influence of these viral products on proviral activity in couple with host-cellular factors are considered. Cytopathophysiological effections of some viral regulatory proteins upon HIV-1 persistention of permissible cells are also shortly reviewed.
