In addition to their extracellular actions, many viral molecules act inside infected cells to modulate intracellular host signaling systems, including transcriptional regulation of target genes by hormones. In agreement with these findings, one of the HIV-1 proteins, Vpr, which is a 96-amino acid virion-associated accessory protein that has multiple functions (including influencing transcriptional activity and arresting the cell cycle), increases the effects of GR stimulation by several fold, functioning as a nuclear receptor coactivator in cooperation with a host cell coactivator complex containing p300 or its homolog CREB-binding protein (CBP) [29] [30] [31] [32] . ./cache/cord-264699-l8db5gll.txt ./txt/cord-264699-l8db5gll.txt
