Multiple NF-κB Sites in HIV-1 Subtype C Long Terminal Repeat Confer Superior Magnitude of Transcription and Thereby the Enhanced Viral Predominance
7 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
We demonstrate that at least three different promoter variant strains of HIV-1 subtype C have been gradually expanding and replacing the standard subtype C viruses in India, and possibly in South Africa and other global regions, over the past decade. The new viral strains contain an additional NF-κB, NF-κB-like, or RBEIII site in the viral promoter. Although the acquisition of an additional RBEIII site is a...
