The HIV trans-activation response (TAR) element is an RNA element which is known to be required for the trans-activation of the viral promoter and for virus replication. The TAR hairpin is a dynamic structure that acts as a binding site for the Tat protein, and this interaction stimulates the activity of the long terminal repeat promoter.

WEE1 homolog , also known as WEE1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the WEE1 gene.

Tubulin alpha-1A chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBA1A gene.

Tubulin alpha-1B chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBA1B gene.

Tubulin alpha-3C/D chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBA3C gene.

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B'' subunit alpha is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPP2R3A gene. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases and is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. Protein phosphatase 2 holoenzymes are heterotrimeric proteins composed of a structural subunit A, a catalytic subunit C, and a regulatory subunit B. The regulatory subunit is encoded by a diverse set of genes that have been grouped into the B/PR55, B'/PR61, and B''/PR72 families. These different regulatory subunits confer distinct enzymatic specificities and intracellular localizations to the holozenzyme. The product of this gene belongs to the B'' family. The B'' family has been further divided into subfamilies. The product of this gene belongs to the alpha subfamily of regulatory subunit B''. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Tubulin beta-4B chain formerly known as tubulin beta-2C chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBB4B gene.

Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAP1LC3A gene. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Tubulin beta-4A chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBB4A gene. Two tubulin beta-4 chain proteins are encoded in the human genome by the genes TUBB4A and TUBB4B. Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a key components of the cytoskeleton. It binds two molecules of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta-chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain. TUBB4A is preferentially and highly expressed in the central nervous system.

Kinesin-like protein KIF22 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF22 gene.

Kinesin-like protein KIF2C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIF2C gene.

Tubulin alpha-1C chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBA1C gene.

TUBB1 is a gene that codes for the protein Tubulin beta-1 chain in humans.

Katanin p80 WD40-containing subunit B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KATNB1 gene.

Gamma-tubulin complex component 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBGCP2 gene. It is part of the gamma-tubulin complex, which is required for microtubule nucleation at the centrosome.

Katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit A1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KATNA1 gene.

Tubulin gamma-2 chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBG2 gene.

Tubulin-specific chaperone A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBCA gene.

Gamma-tubulin complex component 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TUBGCP3 gene. It is part of the gamma tubulin complex, which required for microtubule nucleation at the centrosome.

Neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 1, also known as Nedd1, is a human gene and encodes the protein NEDD1.
