Deletions in the tRNA(Lys) primer-binding site of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 identify essential regions for reverse transcription
1 Sept 1991
Abstract excerpt
The initiation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcription occurs by the extension of a tRNA primer bound near the 5' end of the genomic RNA at a position termed the primer-binding site (PBS). The PBS is an 18-nucleotide region of the HIV-1 genome complementary to cellular tRNA(Lys). To further investigate the sequence requirements for the PBS in reverse transcription, deletions in the...
