Mutational inactivation of an inhibitory sequence in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 results in Rev-independent gag expression
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
We have characterized an inhibitory RNA element in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gag coding sequence that prevents gag expression. The inhibition exerted by this element could be overcome by the presence of the Rev-responsive element in cis and of Rev protein in trans. To understand the mechanism of function, we inactivated the inhibitory element by mutagenesis while maintaining an intact gag...
