Inhibition of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Replication with Artificial Transcription Factors Targeting the Highly Conserved Primer-Binding Site
24 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) primer-binding site (PBS) is a highly conserved region in the HIV genome and represents an attractive target for the development of new anti-HIV therapies. In this study, we designed four artificial zinc finger transcription factors to bind at or adjacent to the PBS and repress transcription from the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR). These proteins bound to the LTR...
