Nce it has been demonstrated that transcription from the PP5 promoter could be reduced through inhibiting estrogen receptor (ER) (Urban et al., 2001). Therefore, we established J-Lat 9.2 and control J-Lat 8.4 cell lines that stably express miRNA-adapted shRNA (shRNAmir) against the ER mRNA (J-Lat 9.2 shER and J-Lat 8.4 shER, respectively). In both J-Lat shER cell lines, the ER levels were decrease
Es obtained with the LTR-specific primers represent a sum of transcripts originating from the host promoter and of viral transcripts, which also contain LTR sequence at their 3' ends. Therefore, the measured ratio corresponds to the equation a+b/b, where `a' is the number of host-viral chimeric transcripts and `b' the number of viral transcripts (see Supplemental text 2). First, we determined this

Lation than the 5'LTR, suggesting that the latter LTR is much stronger subjected to TI. Even if there is transcription from host gene `reading through' both LTRs in some latent cells, this does not diminish the impact of TI on the 5'LTR.NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptCell Host Microbe.

Me transcription through the provirus, since slight enrichment of elongating RNAPII in the HIV coding region of transcriptionally silent J-Lat 9.2 cells was observed using ChIPqPCR assay. However, transcription originating from the host promoter, ignoring pA sites in both LTRs and consequently splicing out the provirus together with the host intron (Han et al., 2004) is most likely less frequent t
Mpared GFP expression of parental and J-Lat shER cells using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). As expected, no GFP-expressing cells could be detected in untreated cells (Figures 6C-6F, mock). About 20 of cells turned GFP-positive in TNF--treated J-Lat 9.2 cells (Figure 6C, TNF-). Importantly, the inhibition of PP5 transcription synergized with TNF- to increase further the number of GFP-
