Abstract excerpt
During HIV-1 reverse transcription, central initiation of the plus-strand DNA at the central polypurine tract (cPPT) and central termination at the central termination sequence (CTS) lead to the formation of a three-stranded DNA structure: the HIV-1 central DNA flap. We recently reported that the DNA flap acts as a cis-active determinant of HIV-1 genome nuclear import. Commonly employed HIV-1-derived vectors (HR...
