Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection Induces Cyclin T1 Expression in Macrophages
14 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The Tat protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is essential for viral replication and activates RNA polymerase II transcriptional elongation through the association with a cellular protein kinase composed of Cdk9 and cyclin T1. Tat binds to this kinase complex through a direct protein-protein interaction with cyclin T1. Monocytes/macrophages are important targets of HIV-1 infection, and previous...
