Abstract excerpt
The rev protein (Rev) of human immunodeficiency virus increases the cytoplasmic expression of viral structural gene mRNAs. We had previously reported the existence of a region (residues 73-98) near the carboxy-terminus in HIV-1 Rev essential for its function. To further define the structural elements in this region, we examined the effects of substitution mutations in highly conserved residues in this region,...
