From the HIV gene expression is subject to a
transcriptional checkpoint, whereby negative transcription elongation
factors induce an elongation block that is overcome by HIV Tat protein
in conjunction with P-TEFb. P-TEFb is a cyclin-dependent
kinase that catalyzes Tat-dependent phosphorylation of
Ser-5 of the Pol II C-terminal domain (CTD). Ser-5 phosphorylation
confers on the CTD the ability to recruit the mammalian mRNA
capping enzyme (Mce1) and stimulate its guanylyltransferase activity.
Here we show that Tat spearheads a second and novel pathway of capping
enzyme recruitment and activation via a direct physical interaction
between the C-terminal domain of Tat and Mce1. Tat stimulates the
guanylyltransferase and triphosphatase activities of Mce1 and thereby
enhances the otherwise low efficiency of cap formation on a TAR
stem-loop RNA. Our findings suggest that multiple mechanisms
exist for coupling transcription elongation and mRNA processing.
