From: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 2 post-transcriptional control protein p28 is required for viral infectivity and persistence in vivo

Figure 1

Organization of the HTLV-2 genome and coding regions. The complete proviral genome is shown schematically. Boxes denote long terminal repeats (LTRs). RNAs encoding the various protein ORFs are indicated. p28 has the potential to be encoded by two distinct singly-spliced mRNAs (gray line in p28 mRNA denotes utilization of two distinct splice acceptor sites). The arrow above p28 ORF depicts the location of the termination mutation to generate Δp28 (stop codon at amino acid 7).
