We constructed 16 deletion mutants from an infectious molecular clone of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and a reporter plasmid carrying the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene to identify the rev transactivator activity of the virus. Cotransfections of various mutants and the rev reporter clone bearing a portion of FIV env in addition to the CAT gene revealed that the sequence important for the augmentation of CAT production was located in three separate parts of the viru ...[more]
