The SWI/SNF Chromatin-remodeling Complex Is a Cofactor for Tat Transactivation of the HIV Promoter
11 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Tat is a critical viral transactivator essential for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gene expression. Activation involves binding to an RNA stem-loop structure and recruitment of the positive transcription elongation factor b. Tat also induces the remodeling of a single nucleosome in the HIV promoter. However, the mechanism of this remodeling has remained unclear. Knockdown of INI-1 and BRG-1, two components...
