transactivator of transcription [3 records]

Record 1 2011-01-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Viral Diseases
DEF

A gene of HIV that plays a role in viral replication by regulating the transcription of viral DNA into RNA; also the protein produced by that gene.

CONT

"tat" is gene of HIV. This gene produces the Tat protein, which greatly assists HIV replication and is probably essential for HIV infection. ...

OBS

The word "Tat" is capitalized when referring to the protein, and not capitalized when referring to the gene which codes for that protein.

  • Génétique
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
  • Maladies virales
CONT

En plus des gènes rétroviraux classiques «gag» (group antigen), «pol» (polymérase) et «env» (enveloppe), les virus VIH ont une dizaine de gènes supplémentaires dont les fonctions font l'objet de recherches, notamment : - les gènes régulateurs «tat» (transactivateur) et «rev» (régulateur de l'expression des virions autrefois appelé «art» ou «trs»)

OBS

Tat (transactivateur de transcription) : Le t de Tat prend la majuscule quand il désigne la protéine et une minuscule quand il désigne le gène.

Key term(s)
