Initiation of HIV-1 reverse transcription and functional role of nucleocapsid-mediated tRNA/viral genome interactions

D Sleiman, V Goldschmidt, P Barraud, R Marquet… - Virus research, 2012 - Elsevier
HIV-1 reverse transcription is initiated from a tRNALys3 molecule annealed to the viral RNA
at the primer binding site (PBS). The annealing of tRNALys3 requires the opening of its three …

Identification of tRNAs incorporated into wild-type and mutant human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Modified nucleotides of tRNA (3Lys) modulate primer/template loop-loop interaction in the initiation complex of HIV-1 reverse transcription.

C Isel, R Marquet, G Keith, C Ehresmann… - Journal of Biological …, 1993 - ASBMB
In all retroviruses, reverse transcription is primed by a tRNA whose 3'end 18 nucleotides are
complementary to the so called viral primer binding site. Previous work showed that reverse …

D Harrich, C Ulich, LF García‐Martínez… - The EMBO …, 1997 - embopress.org
The ability of human immunodeficiency virus‐1 (HIV‐1) to undergo efficient reverse
transcription is dependent on a number of parameters. These include the binding of the …

Reduced replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 mutants that use reverse transcription primers other than the natural tRNA (3Lys)

AT Das, B Klaver, B Berkhout - Journal of virology, 1995 - Am Soc Microbiol
Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other retroviruses
involves reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome into a double-stranded DNA. This …

Early replication block of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in monkey cells

R Shibata, H Sakai, M Kawamura… - Journal of General …, 1995 - microbiologyresearch.org
The genetic and functional basis of the replication-defective nature of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in monkey cells was studied. By the generation and …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 can use different tRNAs as primers for reverse transcription but selectively maintains a primer binding site complementary to …

JK Wakefield, AG Wolf, CD Morrow - Journal of virology, 1995 - Am Soc Microbiol
The initiation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcription occurs at
a site in the viral RNA genome which is designated the primer-binding site (PBS). The HIV-1 …
