Abstract excerpt
The HIV Tat protein, primarily characterized as a transcriptional activator of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR), is also a potent repressor of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I transcription. In the present study, we demonstrate that these two functional activities are distinct and mediated by discrete, but overlapping, structural domains of Tat. Tat repressor activity depends on C-terminal...
