The HIV Tat protein is a transcriptional transactivator of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter element. Its activity depends on its direct interaction with the trans-activation response (TAR) element, although TAR-independent activation by Tat has been demonstrated in different cells. Herpesviruses in general and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in particular are often isolated from HIV-1-infected patients and could play a role in the activation of latent HIV and in a subsequent increase in HIV replication. HCMV immediate early gene products (IE1 and IE2) are nuclear phosphoproteins that play a pivotal role in HCMV replication and have been shown to transregulate both viral and cellular gene expression. It has repeatedly been shown that HCMV IE1/IE2 can independently transactivate HIV-1 LTR. The aim of this study was to investigate IE1/IE2 transactivation of HIV-1 LTR in a CD4+ T-cell line in the absence and presence of HIV-1 Tat to establish whether IE1/IE2 can synergize with Tat.
