Abstract excerpt
Basal and activated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) activity, and in return, viral replication is partly dependent on interactions of the G/C box array with the Sp family of transcription factors. Analysis of LTR Sp binding site sequence variants revealed a C-to-T change at position 5 within Sp site III that increased in frequency and a 5T mutation within Sp site II, which...
