Release of P-TEFb from the Super Elongation Complex promotes HIV-1 latency reversal. by William J Cisneros, Shimaa H A Soliman, Miriam Walter, Lacy M Simons, Daphne Cornish, Simone De Fabritiis, Ariel W Halle, Eun-Young Kim, Steven M Wolinsky, Ramon Lorenzo-Redondo, Ali Shilatifard, Judd F Hultquist

“…Blocks to transcriptional elongation play a central role in maintaining the latent state, and several latency reversal strategies focus on the release of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) from sequestration by negative regulatory complexes, such as the 7SK complex and BRD4. Another major cellular reservoir of P-TEFb is in Super Elongation Complexes (SECs), which play broad regulatory roles in host gene expression. …”
