Abstract HIV-1 transcription is tightly regulated silent in long-term latency and highly active in acutely-infected cells. Transcription is activated by the viral protein Tat which recruits the elongation factor P-TEFb by binding the TAR sequence present in nascent HIV-1 RNAs. In this study we analyzed the dynamic of the TAR Tat P-TEFb complex in living cells by performing FRAP experiments at HIV-1 transcription sites. Our results indicate that a large fraction of Tat present at these sites is recruited by Cyclin T1. We found that in the presence of Tat Cdk9 remained bound to nascent HIV-1 RNAs for 71s. In contrast when transcription was activated by PMA
