Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 transcription initiates at two positions, generating RNAs with either cap1G or cap3G 5' ends. The replication fates of these RNAs differ, with viral particles encapsidating almost exclusively cap1G RNAs and cap3G RNAs retained in cells where they are enriched on polysomes and among spliced viral RNAs. Here, we studied replication properties of virus promoter mutants that produced only one RNA 5' isoform or...
