Transcription elongation factor P-TEFb mediates Tat activation of HIV-1 transcription at multiple stages.
Tat stimulates human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transcription elongation through recognition of the transactivation response (TAR) RNA stem-loop structure at the 5' end of nascent viral transcripts. Recently, a human transcription elongation factor P-TEFb, consisting of CDK9 kinase, cyclin T and other associated factors, has been shown to interact with Tat to restore Tat activation i...
متن کاملZASC1 Stimulates HIV-1 Transcription Elongation by Recruiting P-TEFb and TAT to the LTR Promoter
Transcription from the HIV-1 LTR promoter efficiently initiates but rapidly terminates because of a non-processive form of RNA polymerase II. This premature termination is overcome by assembly of an HIV-1 TAT/P-TEFb complex at the transactivation response region (TAR), a structured RNA element encoded by the first 59 nt of HIV-1 mRNA. Here we have identified a conserved DNA-binding element for ...
متن کاملAntisense-mediated FLC transcriptional repression requires the P-TEFb transcription elongation factor.
The functional significance of noncoding transcripts is currently a major question in biology. We have been studying the function of a set of antisense transcripts called COOLAIR that encompass the whole transcription unit of the Arabidopsis floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Alternative polyadenylation of COOLAIR transcripts correlates with different FLC sense expression states. Suppres...
متن کاملTranscription elongation factor Brd4-P-TEFb accelerates intestinal differentiation-associated SLC2A5 gene expression
BACKGROUND Expression of the fructose transporter gene SLC2A5 and histone acetylation in the transcribed region are induced by differentiation associated-signals such as glucocorticoids and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibition in small intestinal Caco-2 cells. METHODS We co-treated with glucocorticoid receptor agonist dexamethasone (Dex) and p44/42 MAPK inhibitor PD98059 ...
متن کاملPositive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) is a therapeutic target in human multiple myeloma
The role of the positive RNA Pol II regulator, P-TEFb (positive transcription elongation factor b), in maintenance of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 and bortezomib (btz) resistance was investigated in human multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Mcl-1 was up-regulated in all MM lines tested, including bortezomib-resistant lines, human MM xenograft mouse models, and primary CD138+ MM cells. Mcl-1 over-e...
