Abstract excerpt
Splicing of a single HIV-1 primary transcript into more than 30 different mRNAs is regulated by a combination of suboptimal splice sites, cis-acting RNA splicing enhancers and silencers, and trans-acting factors. We have studied the splicing of the second tat intron (SD4 to SA7) and find that activation of splicing by SF2/ASF is mediated by a degenerate exon splicing enhancer (ESE3), consisting of at least three...
