The basal translation rate of authentic HIV-1 RNA is regulated by 5’UTR nt-pairings at junction of R and U5

Abstract The paradigm protein synthesis rate is regulated by structural complexity of the 5′untranslated region (UTR) derives from bacterial and other riboswitches. In-solution, HIV-1 5′UTR forms two interchangeable long-range nucleotide (nt) -pairings, one sequesters the gag start codon promoting d...
