The nuclear carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35), a beta-galactoside-specific lectin with an M(r) of 35,000, has been identified in nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) from a variety of mammalian tissues and cells. Here we determined that the expression of CBP35 mRNA greatly increases after infection of Molt-3 cells with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), concomitantly with the onset of expression of the viral regulatory gene tat, and then declines. The increase in CBP35 mRNA level results in an enhanced synthesis of CBP35, as evidenced in nitrocellulose filter binding assay using radiolabeled, sugar-specific neoglycoprotein. Immunoblotting experiments showed that CBP35 is present in the 40S heterogeneous nuclear RNP complex from HIV-1-infected Molt-3 cells. CBP35 could also be detected using a novel photoreactive alpha-D-galactose probe designed for the specific detection of CBP.
