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
Pelleted in a conical tube and washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline. Sonication and immunoprecipitation were performed using Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay Kit (Upstate) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Antibodies used are presented in Table S2. As negative control, normal rabbit or mouse serum (Sigma-Aldrich) was used. Appropriate primer pairs (Table S1) were used t
Ed cells. Furthermore, TNF- stimulation led to the appearance of Sp1 and initiating RNAPII on the 5'LTR and additional enrichments of initiating and elongating RNAPII on the 3'LTR. These effects are most likely achieved through the activation of NF-B, which stimulates several steps of viral transcription including the PIC formation, transcription initiation and transcription elongation. Thus, our

T the level of gene expression act cooperatively to establish and maintain HIV latency. In conclusion, our study reveals that TI represents a key mechanism that antagonizes proviral gene expression to promote the latency of HIV. Furthermore, it demonstrates several means that could be used to counteract TI for reactivating latent HIV. Future mechanistic studies linking TI and other transcriptional

Tiful in genes and they are recognized by the spliceosome when there is no stronger splice site downstream of them, such aberrant splicing probably takes place in many cases of integration of the viral genome. On one hand, these transcripts reflected active transcription upstream of the provirus in both J-Lat cell lines. On the other hand, LTR sequence in the transcripts enabled us to use them as
