X-Linked RNA-Binding Motif Protein Modulates HIV-1 Infection of CD4+ T Cells by Maintaining the Trimethylation of Histone H3 Lysine 9 at the Downstream Region of the 5′ Long Terminal Repeat of HIV Proviral DNA

HIV-1 latency featuring silence of transcription from HIV-1 proviral DNA represents a major obstacle for HIV-1 eradication. Reversible repression of HIV-1 5′-LTR-mediated transcription represents the main mechanism for HIV-1 to maintain latency. The 5′-LTR-driven HIV gene transcription can be modula...
