HIV-1 Tat interactions with cellular 7SK and viral TAR RNAs identifies dual structural mimicry

The HIV Tat protein recruits a host elongation factor from the cellular 7SK complex to the viral TAR RNA to ensure transcriptional elongation. Here, Pham et al. solve the structures of both 7SK and TAR RNAs in complex with Tat’s RNA binding domain and gain mechanistic insights into the process.
