Mutational analysis of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Rev transactivator: essential residues near the amino terminus
1 Nov 1990
Abstract excerpt
The expression of certain mRNAs from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is controlled by the viral transactivator Rev, a nucleolar protein that binds a cis-acting element in these mRNAs. Rev is encoded by two viral exons that specify amino acids 1 to 26 and 27 to 116, respectively. Earlier studies have mapped essential regions of the protein that are encoded in the second exon. By further mutational...
