Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) requires the interaction of the cyclin T1 (CycT1) subunit of a host cellular factor, the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), with the viral Tat protein, at the transactivation response element (TAR) of nascent transcripts. Because of this virus-specific interaction, CycT1 may potentially serve as a target for the development of...
