Tat acetyl-acceptor lysines are important for human immunodeficiency virus type-1 replication.

Abstract excerpt

The human immunodeficiency virus type-1 trans-activator Tat is a transcription factor that activates the HIV-1 promoter through binding to the trans-activation-responsive region (TAR) localized at the 5'-end of all viral transcripts. We and others have recently shown that Tat is directly acetylated at lysine 28, within the activation domain, and lysine 50, in the TAR RNA binding domain, by Tat-associated histone...
