Chromatin Disruption and Histone Acetylation in Regulation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Long Terminal Repeat by Thyroid Hormone Receptor
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) controls the expression of HIV-1 viral genes and thus viral propagation and pathology. Numerous host factors participate in the regulation of the LTR promoter, including thyroid hormone (T(3)) receptor (TR). In vitro, TR can bind to the promoter region containing the NF-kappa B and Sp1 binding sites. Using the frog oocyte as a model system...
