Abstract excerpt
Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced HIV-1 production in U1 cells was markedly suppressed by inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Northern blot analysis revealed that the PARP-inhibitors suppressed the virus production at a level of transcription. In order to examine the effect of PARP on transcriptional regulation of HIV-1 genes, we transfected a reporter plasmid containing...
