Initiation of HIV-1 Reverse Transcription Is Regulated by a Primer Activation Signal
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcription of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA genome appears to be strictly regulated at the level of initiation. The primer binding site (PBS), at which the tRNA(3)(Lys) molecule anneals and reverse transcription is initiated, is present in a highly structured region of the untranslated leader RNA. Detailed mutational analysis of the U5 leader stem identified a sequence motif in...
