Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) is an essential cellular co-factor for the transcription of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The cyclin T1 (CycT1) subunit of P-TEFb associates with a viral protein, Tat, at the transactivation response element (TAR). This represents a critical and necessary step for the stimulation of transcriptional elongation. Therefore, CycT1...
