Abstract excerpt
The Rex protein of the type I human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-I) is essential for viral replication, acting post-transcriptionally to enhance the expression of unspliced and singly spliced viral mRNAs that encode the Gag, Pol, and Env virion proteins. Rex function involves its direct interaction with a complex stem-loop structure termed the Rex RNA response element (RexRE), which is located within the 3'...
