Structural requirement for the two-step dimerization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 genome
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Generation of RNA dimeric form of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genome is crucial for viral replication. The dimerization initiation site (DIS) has been identified as a primary sequence that can form a stem-loop structure with a self-complementary sequence in the loop and a bulge in the stem. It has been reported that HIV-1 RNA fragments containing the DIS form two types of dimers, loose dimers...
