  • Title: HIV-1 Tat protein is poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated in vitro.
    Author: Kameoka M, Tanaka Y, Ota K, Itaya A, Yamamoto K, Yoshihara K.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1999 Jul 22; 261(1):90-4. PubMed ID: 10405328.
    Abstract:
    Purified recombinant HIV-1 Tat protein stimulated acceptor-dependent reaction of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis of the reaction products by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting with anti-poly(ADP-ribose) antibody revealed that recombinant Tat proteins were covalently modified with poly(ADP-ribose) in the enzyme reaction. Eventhough no significant effect of the modification was detected in the activity of Tat to form a specific complex with TAR (a viral transactivation response element) RNA, the present results raise the possibility that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase is involved in the regulation of HIV-1 through the modification of a virus-encoded transactivator, Tat protein.
