Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcription of retroviruses is initiated from an 18-nucleotide (nt) primer binding site (PBS), located within the 5' region of viral genomic RNA, to which the host cell-derived tRNA primer is annealed and also involves viral genomic sequences outside the PBS. We constructed proviral DNA clones of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that had selective deletions of either a 7-nt segment found immediately...
