Protein interactions

Protein	Gene	Interaction	Pubs
Tat	tat	A La-related protein, LARP7, is associated with P-TEFb, HEXIM1/2, MEPCE, and 7SK RNA in a large stable complex form. Knockdown of LARP7 decreases the steady-state level of 7SK, but increases free P-TEFb and enhances Tat-mediated transcription	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat forms at least two distinct P-TEFb-containing complexes. Tatcom1 is composed of P-TEFb, AF9, ENL, ELL, AFF1, AFF4, and PAF1, presenting strong CTD-kinase activity, while Tatcom2 consists of 7SK, LARP7, and MEPCE with two molecules of Tat/P-TEFb	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat complexes with LARP7, MEPCE, SART3, NPM1, PPM1G, hnRNP-F, and 7SK RNA to form a Tat-7SK RNP complex to control HIV-1 transcription	PubMed
	tat	CDK9-CycT1-AFF1 is stimulated by HIV-1 Tat and transferred as a single complex unit to BRD4 upon stress-induced disruption of AFF1-containing 7SK snRNP (HEXIM1, MEPCE, LARP7, 7SK RNA, CDK9, CycT1, and AFF1)	PubMed
	tat	HIV-1 Tat is identified to have a physical interaction with 7SK snRNA methylphosphate capping enzyme (MEPCE) in human HEK293 and/or Jurkat cell lines by using affinity tagging and purification mass spectrometry analyses	PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream AUG, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform B) has a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform A. Variants 2, 3 and 4 encode the same isoform (B).
