Abstract excerpt
Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) encodes a 27-kDa trans-acting gene product (Rex) which is involved in the regulated expression of transcripts coding for the viral structural proteins. We used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to generate a series of mutant HTLV-I rex genes. Transient expression experiments demonstrated that 3 of 28 mutant proteins are functionally inactive on the homologous HTLV-I...
