The HIV-1 5' LTR poly(A) site is inactivated by U1 snRNP interaction with the downstream major splice donor site.

The inactivity of the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) poly(A) site immediately downstream of the cap site maximizes the production of HIV-1 transcripts. In this paper, we demonstrate that this inactivity is mediated by the interaction of the U1 snRNP with the major splice donor site (MSD). The in...
