Sequence Homology Domains in the V5 Regions of HIV Envelope.

Selected alignments of V5 regions of 22 different.HIV-1 strains containing the hsa-miR-195-like sequence. The hsa-miR-195 sequence.was first aligned to the 5 African strains (shaded and also shown in Table 2), and.then aligned with 17 representative HIV strains from different.clades as determined by the ClustalW2 algorithm. The mismatches between the clades are due to.the variability of the HIV envelope sequences, including V5 regions.#Represents the HIV HXB2 strain which was used for gene mapping in Figure 2.Asterisks represent positions of 100% conservation.
