Repressive LTR Nucleosome Positioning by the BAF Complex Is Required for HIV Latency
29 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Persistence of a reservoir of latently infected memory T cells provides a barrier to HIV eradication in treated patients. Several reports have implicated the involvement of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes in restricting early steps in HIV infection, in coupling the processes of integration and remodeling, and in promoter/LTR transcription activation and repression. However, the mechanism behind the...
