Nuclear factor (NF)-κB transcription factors are involved in the control of a large number of
normal cellular and organismal processes, such as immune and inflammatory responses,
developmental processes, cellular growth, and apoptosis. Transcription of the human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genome depends on the intracellular environment
where the integrate viral DNA is regulated by a complex interplay among viral regulatory
proteins, such as Tat, and host cellular transcription factors, such as NF-κB, interacting with …
