Transcriptional control: Tat cofactors and transcriptional elongation.

Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

HIV-1 gene expression requires the transactivator Tat, which stimulates viral transcript elongation. Recent results show that two cellular cyclin-dependent kinases, which phosphorylate the carboxy-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase II large subunit, contact Tat and contribute to the control of transcriptional elongation.
