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-
Ns dormant. In contrast, we demonstrated that TI could be counteracted by specific inhibition of the upstream transcription or by cooperative activation of transcription initiation and elongation from the 5'LTR by the viral and host TFs. In the latter scenario, we envision that RNAPII initiating from the viral promoter competes successfully with the RNAPII that is elongating through the 5'LTR. Bec

K of the latent provirus in J-Lat 9.2 cells is TI of the 5'LTR caused by the transcription of the host PP5* gene. This interfering transcription results in the lack of Sp1 and the presence of the elongating RNAPII at the 5'LTR. Moreover, TI can be partially rescued by TNF- stimulation, as documented by the appearance of Sp1 and initiating RNAPII at the 5'LTR. The slight enrichment of the RNAPII in

Virus challenge The origin and preparation of the tissue-culture-derived SHIVAD8-EO stock have been previously described25. One week following MAb infusion, animals were challenged intrarectally with 10 TCID50 of SHIVAD8-EO, and every week thereafter, until a virus infection was established. A pediatric nasal speculum

Although TI occurs regardless of the orientation of the two promoters, we studied TI phenomenon in two J-Lat cell lines with the same orientation of the host and viral promoters, which allowed us to detect and an
Effect of Tat on transcription of the provirus. In agreement with the results in Figure 4, expression of Tat alone exerted minimal stimulatory effect on the 5'LTR (Figures 7A-7C, Tat). However, in combination with TNF-, Tat expression activated viral transcription greatly (70-80 of GFP-expressing cells) in all three cell lines (Figures 7A-7C, Tat + TNF-). We further investigated the ability of PM
