Abstract excerpt
A natural amino acid substitution in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcriptional activator Tat increases its activity and compensates for deleterious mutations elsewhere in the Tat protein. Substitution of asparagine for threonine 23 increases Tat transactivation of the HIV-1 promoter and the binding of Tat to the cellular kinase positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb). Of nine...
