Abstract excerpt
The Tat transactivator protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 contains a highly conserved cysteine-rich region, containing seven cysteines from residues 22 through 37. To investigate the importance of noncysteine residues in this region of the Tat protein, we have carried out a mutational analysis, in most cases substituting a single alanine for the wild-type noncysteine residue. Alanine substitution of...
