Constitutively-active Positive Transcription Factor b (P-TEFb) prevents viral latency.

Fang Huang, Kenji Nishiura, Koh Fujinaga

The paper shows that expressing a constitutively active CycT1 protein in resting CD4+ T cells delays viral latency.

Highly inducible transcription is impaired in cells lacking Cyclin T1 (CycT1) of the positive transcription factor b (P-TEFb).

Takuya Kajitani, Fang Huang, Kenji Nishiura…·Koh Fujinaga

This study shows that CycT1 is critical for inducible gene expression and its loss reduces JQ1-dependent gene expression, with implications for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
