P-TEFb, cyclin T1 + CDK9, is needed for the
expression of cellular promoters and primate lentiviral long terminal
repeats (LTRs). Curiously, cellular and lentiviral promoters differ
dramatically in the requirements for positive transcriptional
elongation factor (P-TEF) b activity. Lentiviral LTRs, but not cellular
promoters, need an RNA-associated P-TEFb/Tat/TAR
(trans-activation-responsive) RNA ternary complex. Ternary complex
defective murine cycT1 is apparently inactive for lentiviral
transcription. Why P-TEFb requires Tat/TAR for LTRs but not for
cellular promoters remains unknown. To explore this question, we sought
to determine whether DNA targeting of murine and human cyclin T1 can
reconstitute a Tat/TAR-independent activity to the HIV-1 LTR. In the
absence of Tat and TAR, we found that both HuCycT1 and MuCycT1 can
robustly activate the HIV-1 LTR. We further showed that Sp1 is
necessary and sufficient for this DNA-targeted activity. Thus, like
cellular promoters, HIV-1 LTR can use P-TEFb function without a Tat/TAR
RNA complex. This activity could explain recent findings of robust
HIV-1 replication in rat cells that cannot form a P-TEFb/Tat/TAR moiety.
