Functional Analysis of the Core Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Packaging Signal in a Permissive Cell Line
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Packaging of type C retrovirus genomic RNAs into budding virions requires a highly specific interaction between the viral Gag precursor and unique cis-acting packaging signals on the full-length RNA genome, allowing the selection of this RNA species from among a pool of spliced viral RNAs and similar cellular RNAs. This process is thought to involve RNA secondary and tertiary structural motifs since there is...
