Early emergence and selection of a SIV-LTR C/EBP site variant in SIV-infected macaques that increases virus infectivity.

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)β, and C/EBP binding sites in the HIV/SIV-long terminal repeat (LTR) are crucial for regulating transcription and for IFNβ-mediated suppression of virus replication in macrophages, the predominant source of productive virus replication in the brain.
