(A) Structure of the Tat:AFF4:P-TEFb complex colored according to the absolute percentage of deuterons incorporated in the presence and absence of TAR after 30 s in D2O. (B) TAR-dependent HDX …
Each block indicates peptide analyzed. Each block contains three time-points; from the top, 10 s, 30 s and 3 min. The absolute deuteration levels of each segment and corresponding difference map at …

(A) SHAPE reactivity of the entire HIV-1 5’UTR either alone or in complex with the SEC are shown in red and blue, respectively. SHAPE reactivity profiles are normalized using the 2/8 rule, where the …
(A) Experimental intensities for the apo complex (left) and the TAR complex (right). Inserts in the top right corner show the Guinier plots for each data set. (B) The distance distribution plots …
The top panel shows an overview of the complex with the TAR loop next to CycT1 TRM (yellow) and Tat (red), and the TAR bulge close to Tat R49, the start of the Tat ARM. Zn2+ ions are shown as grey …
Clear density for TAR allowed placement of a TAR molecule (PDB ID 1ARJ). TAR is mediating important crystal contacts by interacting with a symmetry related TAR (grey).
Density around Cyclin T1, Tat, and TAR is contoured at 1.4 sigma (A). Density for CDK9 (B) is contoured at 1.3 sigma.
(A) Overview of the whole complex with multiple conformations for ARM and TRM, using the same color coding as in Figure 4. (B) Closeup of the interactions between TAR–loop and CycT1 TRM. The complex …
The scattering profile calculated from the model matches the experimental profile with χ = 0.86.
(A) Electrophoretic mobility shift assays with 32P-labeled TAR and increasing concentrations of Tat:P-TEFb in the absence or presence of excess AFF4 WT fragment (resides 2–73) or mutant AFF4 …
Electrophoretic mobility shift assays with 32P-labeled TAR were performed as in Figure 6. TAR mutants G21–C41→A21–U41, A22–U40 → U22–A40, and U23C (Churcher et al., 1993) show large defects in …
Right panel: Same protein complex with TAR orientated as in EIAV structure and HIV-Tat ARM replaced by EIAV ARM structure.
