Tat stimulates human immunodeficiency virus, type
1 (HIV-1), transcription elongation by recruitment of the human
transcription elongation factor P-TEFb, consisting of CDK9 and cyclin
T1, to the TAR RNA structure. It has been demonstrated further that
CDK9 phosphorylation is required for high affinity binding of
Tat/P-TEFb to the TAR RNA structure and that the state of P-TEFb
phosphorylation may regulate Tat transactivation. We now demonstrate
that CDK9 phosphorylation is uniquely regulated in the HIV-1
preinitiation and elongation complexes. The presence of TFIIH in the
HIV-1 preinitiation complex inhibits CDK9 phosphorylation. As TFIIH is
released from the elongation complex between +14 and +36, CDK9
phosphorylation is observed. In contrast to the activity in the
"soluble" complex, phosphorylation of CDK9 is increased by the
presence of Tat in the transcription complexes. Consistent with these
observations, we have demonstrated that purified TFIIH directly
inhibits CDK9 autophosphorylation. By using recombinant TFIIH
subcomplexes, our results suggest that the XPB subunit of TFIIH is
responsible for this inhibition of CDK9 phosphorylation. Interestingly,
our results further suggest that the phosphorylated form of CDK9 is the
active kinase for RNA polymerase II carboxyl-terminal domain phosphorylation.
