Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) Tat proteins Tat-1 and Tat-2 stimulate transcription of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences and are required for efficient viral replication. A class of mutant Tat proteins, termed "transdominant mutants," has been described that possesses relatively low transactivation activity, yet is able to inhibit the function of wild-type Tat. These...
