The HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) is stringently controlled by T cell activation signals, and binds a variety of transcription factors whose activities are regulated downstream of the T cell receptor. One of the most highly conserved cis-elements on the LTR, designated RBEIII, binds the factor RBF-2 which is comprised of a USF-1/USF-2 heterodimer and a co-factor TFII-I. RBF-2 is necessary for transcription from the LTR in response to RAS-MAPK activation through T cell receptor engagement, but is also required for repression of viral expression in unstimulated cells. Considering the defined activities of USF and TFII-I, RBF-2 may be responsible for regulating promoter context by controlling chromatin organisation, thereby coordinating opportunity for transcriptional activation by additional factors bound to the enhancer region.
