Abstract excerpt
Tat is an essential protein of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It activates transcription by specifically binding a stem-loop element in the viral long terminal repeat through its highly basic arginine-rich domain. Conserved lysine residues at positions 50 and 51 inside this domain have been recently reported to be the targets of post-translational modification by acetylation, and mutation of...
