The HIV-1 Tat protein activates transcription from an upstream DNA-binding site: implications for Tat function.

abstract：:The structurally related POU homeo domain proteins Pit-1 and Oct-2 activate pituitary- and lymphoid-specific transcription, respectively, by binding to similar AT-rich motifs in their target genes. In this study we identify bases critical for recognition and activation by Pit-1 and examine how small differences in Pit...
