Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) exclusively selects tRNA3Lys as the primer for the initiation of reverse transcription, even though both tRNA3Lys and tRNA1,2Lys are found in HIV-1 virions. Alteration of the HIV-1 primer-binding site (PBS) to be complementary to alternate tRNAs results in the use of those tRNAs for replication, indicating that primer complementarity with the PBS is an important...
