Abstract excerpt
The initiation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcription occurs by extension of a tRNA(Lys3) primer bound near the 5' end of the viral RNA genome which is designated the primer binding site (PBS). Sequences within the viral genome upstream of the PBS which are complementary to the anticodon loop (USUU) and the T psi C loop and arm (AGGGTm psi) of tRNA(Lys3) are postulated to play a role in...
