Evidence for a base triple in the free HIV-1 TAR RNA

H Huthoff, F Girard, SS Wijmenga, B Berkhout - Rna, 2004 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
We propose the existence of a novel base triple in the HIV-1 TAR hairpin. This triple is
supported by covariation of loop residue 31 with residue 22, which is part of an unusual …

TRBP is a cellular protein that binds to the HIV-1 leader RNA, TAR. Circular dichroism
experiments have shown that a 24 amino acid peptide (TR1), located within a dsRNA …

Creating a ribonuclease T-tat that preferentially recognizes and hydrolyzes HIV-1 TAR RNA in vitro and in vivo

C Dow-Tien, T Yuan-Jhih, L Alan - Nucleic acids research, 2008 - academic.oup.com
A ribonuclease, RNase T-tat, specifically designed to hydrolyze the TAR RNA of HIV-1 virus
has been engineered. The protein was made by domain swapping the TAT peptide at the …
