Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the HIV-1 genome yields a single primary transcript, which is alternatively spliced to >30 mRNAs. Productive infection depends on inefficient and regulated splicing and appears to proceed in a tight 5' to 3' order. To analyse whether sequential splicing is mediated by the quality of splice sites or by the position of an intron, we inserted the efficient beta-globin intron (BGI) into the 3' region...
