The transactivator of transcription (Tat) is a key HIV regulatory protein. We aimed to identify the frequency of key polymorphisms in HIV-1C compared with HIV-1B Tat protein, chiefly in the cysteine-, arginine-, and glutamine-rich domains and identify novel point mutations in HIV-1B and C sequences from Southern Brazil. This study was the first to investigate the genetic diversity and point mutations within HIV-1...
