Chromatin Remodeling and Modification during HIV-1 Tat-activated Transcription
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the etiologic agent of AIDS. Following entry into the host cell, the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA and subsequently integrated into the host genome as a chromatin template. Chromatin structure may be responsible for silencing retroviral gene expression. Transcriptional activation occurs after ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes alter chromatin...
