Pregenomic RNA Is Required for Efficient Incorporation of Pol Polyprotein into Foamy Virus Capsids
3 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
The foamy virus (FV) Pol polyprotein is translated independently of Gag from a spliced mRNA. This method of expression raises the question of how Pol is associated with the viral particle. Using a transient FV vector transfection system, it is shown that pregenomic RNA is required for efficient virion incorporation of functionally active Pol and that protein-protein interactions of Pol with Gag are not sufficient...
