Abstract excerpt
The coordinated packaging of the segmented genome of the influenza A virus (IAV) into virions is an essential step of the viral life cycle. This process is controlled by the interaction of packaging signals present in all eight viral RNA (vRNA) segments and the viral nucleoprotein (NP), which binds vRNA via a positively charged binding groove. However, mechanistic models of how the packaging signals and NP work...
