  • Publication number: 20220112469
    Abstract: Novel chimeric proteins may be used to inhibit transcriptional A activities that are mediated by transcription factor interactions with P-TEFb. The chimeras contain elements that recruit the target transcription factor, maintain CDK9 in an inactive state, and competitively inhibit P-TEFb binding to the transcription factor. The chimeras may be configured for inhibition of HIV Tat mediated transcription and thus provide a novel means of preventing reactivation of integrated HIV, providing a new tool for emerging “block and lock” HIV cure strategies.
