Glucocorticoid receptor-binding site in the human immunodeficiency virus long terminal repeat.

Abstract

Previous reports (P. D. Katsanakis, C. E. Sekaris, and D. A. Spandidos, Anticancer Res. 11:381-383, 1991; J. Laurence, M. B. Sellers, and S. K. Sikder, Blood 74:291-297, 1989; R. Miksicek, A. Heber, W. Schmid, U. Danesch, G. Posseckert, M. Beato, and G. Schutz, Cell 46:283-290, 1986) have suggested the existence of a glucocorticoid response element in the long terminal repeat of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1. This study demonstrated a sequence-specific interaction of the glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domain with the previously predicted HIV glucocorticoid response element. This interaction may be relevant to the steroid responsiveness of HIV (P. A. Furth, H. Westphal, and L. Hennighausen, AIDS Res. Hum. Retroviruses 6:553-560, 1990; J. Laurence, M. B. Sellers, and S. K. Sikder, Blood 74:291-297, 1989; J. Laurence, H. Cooke, and S. K. Sikder, Blood 75:696-703, 1990; D. A. Spandidos, V. Zoounpovilis, A. Kotsinas, C. Tsiripotis, and C. E. Sekeris, Anticancer Res. 10:1241-1246, 1990).
