Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) trans-activator (Tat) is an important trans-regulator of viral gene expression. It differs from the related HIV-1 Tat in certain aspects of its structure and function. HIV-2 Tat is composed of 130 amino acids versus 86 amino acids for HIV-1 Tat. Apart from certain conserved regions, there is little homology between the two Tats. They also differ in their ability to...
