Stromalins are evolutionarily conserved multifunctional proteins with the best known function in sister chromatid cohesion. Human SA2 stromalin, likely involved in the establishment of cohesion, contains numerous potential nuclear localization (NLS) and nuclear export signals (NES). Previously we have found that the C-terminus of SA2 contains NLS(s) functional in human cells. However, the identity of this signal remained unclear since three NLS-like sequences are present in that region. Here we analyzed the functionality of these putative signals by expressing GFP-tagged C-terminal part of SA2 or its fragments in a human cell line and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that in human cells the nuclear import is dependent on a unique compound di- or tripartite signal containing unusually long linkers between clusters of basic amino acids. Upon expression of the same SA2 fragment in yeast this signal is also functional and can be easily studied in more detail.

 Despite the extensive research efforts over the past 25 years that have focused on HIV, there is still no cure for AIDS. However, tremendous progress in the understanding of the structure and biology of the HIV virus led to the development of safe and potent HIV-based transgene delivery vectors. These genetic vehicles are referred to as lentiviral vectors. They appear to be better suited for particular applications, such as transgene delivery into stem cells, compared to other viral- and non-viral vectors. This is because Lentivirus-based vectors can efficiently infect nondividing and slowly dividing cells. In the present review article, the current state of understanding of HIV-1 is discussed and the main characteristics that had an impact on vector design are outlined. A historical view on the vector concept is presented to facilitate discussion of recent results in vector engineering in a broader context. Subsequently, a state of the art overview concerning vector construction and vector production is given. This review also touches upon the subject of lentiviral vector safety and related topics that can be helpful in addressing this issue are discussed. Finally, examples of Lentivirus-based gene delivery systems and their applications are presented, with emphasis on animal transgenesis and human gene therapy.
