X-Linked RNA-Binding Motif Protein Modulates HIV-1 Infection of CD4<sup>+</sup> T Cells by Maintaining the Trimethylation of Histone H3 Lysine 9 at the Downstream Region of the 5′ Long Terminal Repeat of HIV Proviral DNA
ABSTRACT Reversible repression of HIV-1 5′ long terminal repeat (5′-LTR)-mediated transcription represents the main mechanism for HIV-1 to maintain latency. Identification of host factors that modulate LTR activity and viral latency may help develop new antiretroviral therapies. The heterogeneous nu...
