HIV-1 core promoter lacks a simple initiator element but contains a bipartite activator at the transcription start site
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) core promoter region, extending approximately from nucleotides -40 to +80 relative to the transcription start site, contains a complex array of putative regulatory elements, including a TATA box, an initiator element, an element between the TATA box and start site, binding sites for LBP/UBP, the TAR element, and others. However, because of this elaborate...
