Figure 1

(Adapted from references11,12,14).

Schematic representation of the 5′LTR (U3, R, and U5 regions) and the gag leader sequence (GLS). ATG represents the start codon of the gag gene. Known TFBS sequences downstream of the transcription initiation site + 1 (U3–R junction) are depicted. Location of functional domains such as TAR (trans-activation responsive element), Poly A (polyadenylation hairpin), PAS (polyadenylation signal), PBS (Primer Binding Site), DIS (Dimer Initiation Signal), SD (major splice Donor Site) and PSI (Packaging Signal) reported on the transcribed untranslated region known as the 5′ UTR, are also depicted.
