Abstract excerpt
Hepadnavirus reverse transcription requires that pregenomic RNA first be selectively packaged into a cytoplasmic core particle. This process presumably requires the presence of specific recognition sequences on the pregenomic RNA. To define the cis-acting sequences required for pregenome encapsidation in the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV), we assayed the packaging efficiency of a series of pregenomic RNA deletion...
