Abstract excerpt
The relationship between virion protein maturation and genomic RNA dimerization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains incompletely understood. We have constructed HIV-1 Gag cleavage site mutants to enable the steady state observation of virion maturation steps, and precisely study Gag processing, RNA dimerization, virion morphology and infectivity. Within the virion maturation process, the RNA...
