Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA genome contains a terminal repeat (R) sequence that encodes the TAR hairpin motif, which has been implicated in Tat-mediated activation of transcription. More recently, a variety of other functions have been proposed for this structured RNA element. To determine the replicative roles of the 5' and 3' TAR hairpins, we analyzed multiple steps in the life cycle of...
