The leader of the HIV-1 RNA genome forms a compactly folded tertiary structure
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The untranslated leader of the RNA genome of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encodes multiple signals that regulate distinct steps of the viral replication cycle. The RNA secondary structure of several replicative signals in the HIV-1 leader is critical for function. Well-known examples include the TAR hairpin that forms the binding site for the viral Tat trans-activator protein and the DIS...
