Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 inducer of short transcripts (IST) is an unusual promoter element that activates the synthesis of short transcripts from the HIV-1 promoter as well as from heterologous promoters. While the DNA sequences constituting IST have been characterized in some detail, little is known about the biochemical mechanisms underlying IST activity. Here, we describe a cell-free transcription assay that faithfully...
