Figure 7

Differential activation of HIV-1 subtype LTRs by K13. A. 293T cells were transfected with an empty vector (pCDNA3) or K13 along with luciferase reporter constructs containing LTRs derived from the indicated strains of HIV and a β-galactosidase reporter construct as described in Fig. 1A. The values shown are averages (Mean ± S.E.) of one representative experiment out of three in which each transfection was performed in duplicate. B. Partial sequence of LTRs of HIV-1 subtypes A through F. The LTR region spanning positions -129 to -77 of subtype A is shown at the top. The NF-κB binding motifs are shaded gray.
