Structure of spliced and unspliced HBZ genes. The U5 and a part of R region of 3'LTR compose the promoter for the HBZ gene. The first exon of the spliced HBZ gene corresponds to the region that encodes the Rex responsive element (RxRE). The differences in the proteins derived from the spliced and the unspliced HBZ are 4 amino acids in the spliced HBZ and 7 amino acids in the unspliced HBZ.
