Specificity of retroviral RNA packaging
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
Encapsidation of retroviral RNA has been shown to be dependent on specific cis-acting signals, in particular, the packaging region (psi) located near the 5' end of the retroviral genome. In this report, we show that a 683-base avian extended packaging sequence (psi+) derived from Rous sarcoma virus will direct packaging of heterologous hygromycin mRNA into avian virions when present at the 3' end of the...
