Abstract excerpt
The trans-activator Tat proteins coded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 appear to be similar in structure and function. However, the Tat protein of HIV-2 (Tat2) activates the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) less efficiently than Tat1 (M. Emerman, M. Guyader, L. Montagnier, D. Baltimore, and M. A. Muesing, EMBO J. 6:3755-3760, 1987). To determine the functional domain of Tat2 which...
