The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 5' packaging signal structure affects translation but does not function as an internal ribosome entry site structure
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
The role of the RNA secondary structure in the 5' packaging signal region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in initiating translation of gag mRNA has been investigated both in vitro and in the presence of cellular cofactors in vivo. Heat denaturation of the structure and mutagenic deletion both lead to an increase in levels of translated products, indicating that the structure is a significant...
