Abstract in another language
The Tat protein of equine infectious anemia virus, EIAV, was shown to augment viral gene expression, presumably through interaction with the Tat responsive element, TAR. Recently, cell-free polyadenylation assays suggested that perturbation of the EIAV TAR secondary structure diminished polyadenylation efficiency. The present study indicates that the EIAV TAR regulates the efficiency of the 3′-end processing of viral RNA also in transfected cells. Moreover, our data suggest that the provision of the EIAV Tat protein in trans potentiates read-through transcription through the 3′ viral long terminal repeat (3′ LTR), thus suggesting activation of downstream-located cellular genes.
