Dissociation of Genome Dimerization from Packaging Functions and Virion Maturation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
The dimer initiation site/dimer linkage sequence (DIS/DLS) region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA genome is thought to play important roles at various stages of the virus life cycle. Recently we showed that the DIS/DLS region affects RNA-RNA interaction in intact virus particles, by demonstrating that duplication of the region in viral RNA caused the production of virus particles containing...
