Genes, env - DNA sequences that form the coding region for the viral envelope (env) proteins in retroviruses. The env genes contain a cis-acting RNA target sequence for the rev protein (= GENE PRODUCTS, REV), termed the rev-responsive element (RRE). |
|
Genes, gag - DNA sequences that form the coding region for proteins associated with the viral core in retroviruses. gag is short for group-specific antigen. |
|
Genes, pol - DNA sequences that form the coding region for retroviral enzymes including reverse transcriptase, protease, and endonuclease/integrase. "pol" is short for polymerase, the enzyme class of reverse transcriptase. |
