HIV-1 TAT Recombinant- produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptidic chain containing 86 amino acids encoded by two exons and having a molecular mass of 14kDa.
Recombinant TAT Clade B
Description
Tat is a key viral regulatory protein produced very early after infection, even prior to HIV integration, and necessary for reverse transcription (Lalonde, 2011), viral gene expression (Arya, 1985; Fisher, 1986; Ensoli, 1993; Wu, 2001), cell-to-cell virus transmission, virus dissemination and disease progression. In fact, in the absence of Tat, no or negligible amounts of structural proteins are expressed and, therefore, no infectious virus progeny is made produced.
Tat is released extracellularly and accumulates in tissues where it increases virus infectivity and activates immune cells while disabling the immune response to HIV (Ensoli, 1990, 1993, 1994, Ott, 1997; Chang, 1997)
HIV-1 regulatory Tat protein plays an essential role in viral replication and infectivity. In addition, during acute infection tat is released in the extracellular environment by infected cells and is taken up by neighbouring cells where it transactivates viral replication and increases virus infectivity. The HIV-1 tat protein is a molecule of 86 aminoacids encoded by two exons.
