Abstract excerpt
The host noncoding RNA 7SL is highly enriched in the virions of retroviruses. We examined the regions of 7SL that mediate packaging by HIV-1. Both the Alu domain and the S domain were sufficient to mediate specific packaging when expressed separately as truncations of 7SL. However, while the Alu domain competed with endogenous 7SL for packaging in proportion to Gag, the S domain was packaged additively, implying...
