- Abstract
Murine leukemia virus (MLV)-based retroviral vectors is widely used for gene transfer and basic research, and production of high-titer retroviral vectors is very important. Here we report that expression of the Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) enhanced the production of infectious MLV vectors. YB-1 specifically increased the stability of viral genomic RNA in virus-producing cells, and thus increasing viral RNA levels in both producer cells and virion particles. The viral element responsive to YB-1 was mapped to the repeat sequence (R region) in MLV genomic RNA. These results identified YB-1 as a MLV mRNA stabilizer, which can be used for improving production of MLV vectors.
