Abstract excerpt
Packaging of MLV genomes requires four cis-acting stem-loops. Stem-loops A and B are self-complementary and bind Gag in their dimeric form, while the C and D elements mediate loop-loop interactions that facilitate RNA dimerization. Packaging also requires nuclear export of viral genomes, and their cytoplasmic transport toward the plasma membrane. For MLV, this is mediated by Gag and Env, and occurs on endosomal...
