Abstract excerpt
In this study we have defined the in vitro requirements for transcriptional regulation of the HIV-2 LTR in response to the HIV-1 and HIV-2 Tat proteins and addressed potential mechanisms of Tat function. HIV-2 contains a duplicated TAR RNA stem-loop structure in contrast to the single stem-loop s...
