Abstract excerpt
We investigated the in vitro RNA dimerization properties of the untranslated leader RNA derived from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 variants circulating in an individual with a low viral load and slow disease progression. The leader sequences of these viruses contain highly unusual polymorphisms within the dimerization initiation site (DIS): an insert that abolishes dimerization and a compensatory...
