pubmed:abstractText
The HIV Tat protein is able to upregulate the transcription by RNA polymerase III of cotransfected or endogenous cellular Alu-repeated sequences in both HeLa and Jurkat T cells. This effect is mediated by an increase in the activity of transcription factor TFIIIC, which binds to the B box in the RNA polymerase III Alu promoter. This is the first example of an effect of the Tat protein on the transcription of a cellular gene or on the activity of a cellular transcription factor. The significance of this effect for the life cycle of HIV and its interaction with infected cells is discussed.
