Compaction of chromatin around integrated HIV-1 proviruses may restrict access of key transcription factors to the 5′ long terminal repeat. However, this condensed chromatin state is reversed when cells are activated. Activation leads to transcription factor access and effective RNA Pol II elongation, giving rise to high-level virus production when HIV-1 Tat is produced.
