The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 packaging signal and major splice donor region have a conserved stable secondary structure
1 Jul 1992
Abstract excerpt
Interaction of cis-acting RNA sequences with nucleocapsid proteins is one of the critical events leading to retroviral genomic RNA packaging. We have derived a potentially stable secondary structure for the packaging signal region of human immunodeficiency virus strain IIIB, using a combination of biochemical analysis and computer modelling. This region encompasses the major splice donor (SD), which is found in a...
