Abstract

The elongation step of transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is controlled both positively and negatively by over a dozen cellular proteins. Recent findings suggest that two distinct viruses, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and hepatitis delta virus, encode proteins that facilitate viral replication and transcription by targeting the same cellular transcription elongation machinery.
