Conformational Analysis and Structure-Altering Mutations of the HIV-1 Frameshifting Element.

Abstract excerpt

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to be a threat to public health. An emerging technique with promise in the context of fighting HIV type 1 (HIV-1) focuses on targeting ribosomal frameshifting. A crucial -1 programmed ribosomal frameshift (PRF) has been observed in several pathogenic viruses, including HIV-1. Altered folds of the HIV-1 RNA frameshift element (FSE) have been shown to alter frameshifting...
