Abstract excerpt
We determined the effect of mutations generated in HIV-1 LTR on viral gene expression in six mother-infant pairs following vertical transmission. We show that the functional domains critical for LTR function, the promoter (TATAA), enhancers (three SpI and two NFkappaB sites), the modulatory region (two AP-I sites, two NFAT, one NF-IL6 site, one Ets-1, and one USF-1) and the TAR region were generally conserved...
