Abstract
Background: Multiple mechanisms contribute to HIV latency, including NELF-mediated RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) pausing. Results: Paused RNAP II recruits a transcription termination factor and a transcriptional corepressor complex to the HIV promoter. Conclusion: PausedRNAPII couples premature transcription termination and chromatin remodeling to maintain HIV latency. Significance: Paused RNAP II may be targeted to purge latent HIV infection.
