HIV-1 transcription start sites usage and its impact on unspliced RNA functions in people living with HIV by Saiful Islam, Frank Maldarelli, Olga A. Nikolaitchik, Zetao Cheng, Robert Gorelick, Maria A. Nikolaitchik, Vinay K. Pathak, Wei-Shau Hu

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that in cultured cells, HIV-1 uses multiple transcription start sites to generate several unspliced RNA species, including two major transcripts with three and one 5′ guanosine, referred to as 3G and 1G RNA, respectively. Although nearly identical, 1G RNA is selected over 3G RNA to be packaged as the virion genome, indicating that these RNA species are functionally distinct. …”
