Packaging signals in single-stranded RNA viruses: nature’s alternative to a purely electrostatic assembly mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The formation of a protective protein container is an essential step in the life-cycle of most viruses. In the case of single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses, this step occurs in parallel with genome packaging in a co-assembly process.

Development of a Novel Competitive qRT-PCR Assay to Measure Relative Lentiviral Packaging Efficiency

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020
Third-generation HIV-1-derived lentiviral vectors are successfully used as therapeutic agents in various clinical applications. To further promote their use, we attempted to enhance vector infectivity by targeting the dimerization and packaging ...

Transcription Start Site Heterogeneity and Preferential Packaging of Specific Full-Length RNA Species Are Conserved Features of Primate Lentiviruses

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
HIV-1 must package its RNA genome to generate infectious viruses. Recent studies have revealed that during genome packaging, HIV-1 not only excludes cellular mRNAs, but also distinguishes among full-length viral RNAs. Using NL4-3 and MAL molecular clones,

Is HIV-1 RNA dimerization a prerequisite for packaging? Yes, no, probably? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
During virus assembly, all retroviruses specifically encapsidate two copies of full-length viral genomic RNA in the form of a non-covalently linked RNA dimer.

Cooperative Mechanism of RNA Packaging Motor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
P4 is a hexameric ATPase that serves as the RNA packaging motor in double-stranded RNA bacteriophages from the Cystoviridae family. P4 shares sequence and structural similarities with hexameric helicases. A structure-based mechanism for mechano-chemical coupling has recently been proposed for P4 from bacteriophage phi12.

Mud2 functions in transcription by recruiting the Prp19 and TREX complexes to transcribed genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The different steps of gene expression are intimately linked to coordinate and regulate this complex process. During transcription, numerous RNA-binding proteins are already loaded onto the nascent mRNA and package the mRNA into a messenger ...

How to package the RNA of HIV-1

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Interactions between viral RNA and the integrase enzyme are required for HIV-1 particles to become infectious, a process that can be disrupted through multiple mechanisms.

Selective Packaging in Murine Coronavirus Promotes Virulence by Limiting Type I Interferon Responses

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Selective packaging is a mechanism used by multiple virus families to specifically incorporate genomic RNA (gRNA) into virions and exclude other types of RNA. Lineage A betacoronaviruses incorporate a 95-bp stem-loop structure, the packaging signal (PS),

Selective packaging of HIV-1 RNA genome is guided by the stability of 5′ untranslated region polyA stem

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance HIV-1 must select and package its RNA genome from an abundant pool of cellular RNAs. To understand this essential replication step, we studied two nearly identical HIV-1 RNAs that are differentially encapsidated.
