Low-level alternative tRNA priming of reverse transcription of HIV-1 and SIV in vivo

Abstract Background Reverse transcription (RT) of HIV and SIV is initiated by the binding of the acceptor stem of tRNALys3 to the primer binding site (PBS) of the viral RNA genome. Previous studies have suggested that this tRNALys3 is not the only molecule capable of priming reverse transcription, a...
