The human foamy virus internal promoter directs the expression of the functional Bel 1 transactivator and Bet protein early after infection
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
The human foamy virus or spumaretrovirus (HFV) is a complex retrovirus that has the capacity to code not only for the three retroviral genes gag, pol, and env but, in addition, for at least three bel genes. The HFV provirus contains two different and functionally active promoters: the classical retroviral promoter in the 5' long terminal repeat and a recently identified second promoter in the env gene upstream of...
