Abstract excerpt
Trans-activation of HIV-1 by the Tat protein is mediated through a cis-acting element (TAR) in the viral RNA. In order to obtain further insight into the molecular interactions for trans-activation, a detailed mutational analysis of TAR RNA was carried out. TAR RNA forms a hairpin structure with important sequence elements in the single-stranded bulge- and loop-domains. We found that the sequence of the...
