Key result
The TAR RNA structure was highly inhibitory for HIV-2 genomic RNA translation compared to HIV-1, highlighting important structural and functional differences between the two viruses.
The TAR RNA structure in the 5'-UTR of HIV-2 is significantly more inhibitory to genomic RNA translation compared to HIV-1, highlighting important structural and functional differences between the two viruses.

May inform distinct HIV-2 translation targets; leaves open relevance to human pathogenesis or therapy.
Soto‐Rifo et al. (2011) studied HIV-1 and HIV-2. TAR RNA structure vs. HIV-1 vs HIV-2 was evaluated on Genomic RNA translation. The TAR RNA structure was highly inhibitory for HIV-2 genomic RNA translation compared to HIV-1, highlighting important structural and functional differences between the two viruses.
