Exon2 of HIV-2 Tat Contributes to transactivation of the HIV-2 LTR by increasing binding affinity to HIV-2 TAR RNA [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1994
Human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) express related Tat proteins that are encoded in two exons. Tat proteins bind directly to the TAR RNA element contained in the 5' ends of viral transcripts and thereby stimulate transcription through an as yet unidentified mechanism.

Hiv-2 molecular epidemiology

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
The Simian Immunodeficiency Virus of sooty mangabeys (SIVsmm) has been revealed to be at the origin of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 2 (HIV-2) in humans, firstly detected from two Portuguese patients in 1986.
