Amt-87 dissociates P-TEFb from 7SK snRNP and promotes Tat-SEC formation at the HIV-1 promoter. (A) The HeLa-based F1C2 cells stably expressing the Flag-tagged CDK9 were treated with Amt-87 or DMSO for 24 hr. Nuclear extracts (NE) and anti-Flag immunoprecipitates (IP) derived from NE were analyzed by Western blotting for the indicated proteins and the results were quantified and shown on the right, with the numbers in lanes 1 and 3 set to 1. (B) NH1 cells transfected with the Tat-Flag-expressing plasmid were treated with Amt-87 (+) or DMSO (−) for 24 hr. NEs and anti-Flag IP derived from NE were analyzed by Western blotting for the indicated proteins. (C) Upon transfection with the plasmid expressing Tat-Flag for 24 hr, NH1 cells were treated with Amt-87 or DMSO for 24 hr and then subjected to ChIP-qPCR analysis to determine the occupancy of the indicated factors at three different locations (1–3) at and around the HIV-1 promoter region (diagramed on top). The ChIP signals were normalized to those of input and plotted, with the error bars indicating mean ± SD from three independent experiments.
