RNA flexibility in the dimerization domain of a gamma retrovirus.

Nature chemical biology - 1 Jul 2005

Badorrek Christopher S, Weeks Kevin M

Abstract excerpt

Retroviruses are the causative agents of serious diseases, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndromes and several cancers, and are also useful gene therapy vectors. Retroviruses contain two sense-strand RNA genomes, which become linked at their 5' ends to form an RNA dimer. Understanding the molecular basis for dimerization may yield new approaches for controlling viral infectivity. Because this RNA domain is...
