Abstract excerpt
Interactions between the Rex protein of HTLV-1 and the genomic Rex-binding element (XBE) mediate the cytoplasmic transport of viral mRNAs. However, it is uncertain which RNA sequences and structures contribute to Rex recognition. A portion of the viral genome that spanned the XBE was partially randomized, and functional Rex-binding variants were selected. Alignment of selected Rex-binding sequences revealed...
