Abstract excerpt
Efficient HIV transcription requires P-TEFb, an essential co-factor for Tat. In actively replicating cells, P-TEFb is incorporated into the 7SK snRNP complex together with the repressor protein HEXIM1. Using an affinity purification-tandem mass spectrometry approach to identify modification sites on HEXIM1 that regulate the sequestration of P-TEFb by 7SK snRNP, we found that HEXIM1 can be phosphorylated on...
