Is HIV-1 RNA dimerization a prerequisite for packaging? Yes, no, probably?

2 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

During virus assembly, all retroviruses specifically encapsidate two copies of full-length viral genomic RNA in the form of a non-covalently linked RNA dimer. The absolute conservation of this unique genome structure within the Retroviridae family is strong evidence that a dimerized genome is of critical importance to the viral life cycle. An obvious hypothesis is that retroviruses have evolved to preferentially...
