Inhibition of polyadenylation by stable RNA secondary structure
15 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
The presence of a polyadenylation signal in the repeat (R) region of the HIV-1 genome, which is located at both the 5' and 3' ends of the viral transcripts, requires differential regulation of polyadenylation. The HIV-1 poly(A) site can fold in a stable stem-loop structure that is well-conserved among different human and simian immunodeficiency viruses. In this study, we tested the effect of this hairpin on...
