Lysine methylation of HIV-1 Tat regulates transcriptional activity of the viral LTR
22 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The rate of transcription of the HIV-1 viral genome is mediated by the interaction of the viral protein Tat with the LTR and other transcriptional machinery. These specific interactions can be affected by the state of post-translational modifications on Tat. Previously, we have shown that Tat can be phosphorylated and acetylated in vivo resulting in an increase in the rate of transcription. In the...
