First sentence: Numerous RNA structures are responsible for regulatory processes either because they constitute a signal, like the hairpins or pseudoknots involved in ribosomal frameshifting, or because they are binding sites for proteins such as the trans-activating responsive RNA element of the human immunodeficiency virus whose binding to the viral protein Tat and cellular proteins allows full-length transcription of the retroviral genome.
