Highly conserved RNA pseudoknots at the gag-pol junction of HIV-1 suggest a novel mechanism of −1 ribosomal frameshifting

−1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) is utilized by many viruses to synthesize their enzymatic (Pol) and structural (Gag) proteins at a defined ratio. For efficient −1 PRF, two cis-acting elements are required: a heptanucleotide frameshift site and a downstream stimulator such as a pseudoknot...
