The role of Tat in the human immunodeficiency virus life cycle indicates a primary effect on transcriptional elongation.
1 May 1991
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of Tat transactivation was studied by treating cell lines containing Tat-defective viruses with purified Tat protein. These cell lines constitutively produce very low levels of virus in the absence of Tat, as measured by p24 antigen levels. Virus production can be increased greater than 30,000-fold by adding exogenous Tat. Tat addition increases mRNA levels early in the viral life cycle, and Tat is...
