Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 Pr55Gag precursor specifically selects genomic RNA (gRNA) from a large variety of cellular and spliced viral RNAs (svRNAs), however the molecular mechanisms of this selective recognition remains poorly understood. To gain better understanding of this process, we analyzed the interactions between Pr55Gag and a large panel of viral RNA (vRNA) fragments encompassing the main packaging signal (Psi) and its...
