HIV Long Terminal Repeat

Långt repetitionsöverhäng, HIV

Svensk definition

Reglersekvenser, viktiga för virusreplikation, belägna i båda ändar av HIV-genomet. Det långa repetitionsöverhänget (LTR) innehåller HIV-förstärkaren, promotorn och andra sekvenser. Specifika områden i LTR omfattar det negativa reglerelementet (NRE), bindningsställen för NF-kappa B och Sp1, tataboxen och "trans-acting responsive element" (TAR). Bindning av såväl cell- som virusproteiner till dessa områden styr HIV-transkriptionen.

Engelsk definition

Regulatory sequences important for viral replication that are located on each end of the HIV genome. The LTR includes the HIV ENHANCER, promoter, and other sequences. Specific regions in the LTR include the negative regulatory element (NRE), NF-kappa B binding sites , Sp1 binding sites, TATA BOX, and trans-acting responsive element (TAR). The binding of both cellular and viral proteins to these regions regulates HIV transcription.
