ABSTRACT
Human immunodeficiency virus, type 1-encoded transactivator protein Tat is known to be a substrate of and to interact with several nuclear histone acetyltransferases (HATs). Here we show that Tat is a general inhibitor of histone acetylation by cellular HATs and that for at least one of them, the CREB-binding protein (CBP), it induces a substrate selectivity. Indeed, in the presence of Tat, the acetylation of histones by CBP was severely inhibited, while that of p53 and MyoD remained unaffected. The C-terminal domain of Tat, dispensable for the activation of viral transcription, was found to be necessary and sufficient to interfere with histone acetylation. These results demonstrate that Tat is able to selectively modulate cellular protein acetylation by nuclear HATs and therefore to take over this specific signaling system in cells.
