Abstract: Nuclear translocation signal has been identified as a mediator of protein shuttling between nuclear and cytoplasm. Here we report that the combination of peptides from nuclear localization signal (NLS) and nuclear export signal (NES) of HIV-1 Rev have an antiviral activity against the Herpes virus of turkey and Mareks disease virus serotype 1.
