Abstract excerpt
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) preferentially select and use tRNA(Lys,3) as the primer for initiation of reverse transcription. Previous studies have shown that HIV-1 can be forced to use tRNA(Glu) if mutations are made within the primer-binding site (PBS) and a region upstream, A-loop, to be complementary to the 3'-terminal 18 nucleotides and anticodon loop of...
