RNA packaging in lentiviruses [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 The selection by a lentivirus of its genomic RNA from the background of a vast excess of cellular messenger RNAs and sub-genomic viral RNAs occurs with high specificity. The nature and site of the specific interaction between the unspliced RNA genome and the gag polyprotein, which is responsible for its capture, is still poorly understood and the ...

Physicochemical analysis of rotavirus segment 11 supports a 'modified panhandle' structure and not the predicted alternative tRNA-like structure (TRLS) [PDF]
, 2013 .Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is often fatal in infants. The viral genome consists of 11 double-stranded RNA segments, but little is known about their cis-acting sequences and structural elements.

Nucleolar Localization of HIV-1 Rev Is Required, Yet Insufficient for Production of Infectious Viral Particles. [PDF]
, 2018 Combination antiretroviral therapy fails in complete suppression of HIV-1 due to drug resistance and persistent latency. Novel therapeutic intervention requires knowledge of intracellular pathways responsible for viral replication, specifically those ...

Characterization of Coronavirus DI RNA Packaging [PDF]
, 1998 Studies of defective interfering (DI) RNAs of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), suggest that a 69 nt-long packaging signal, which is located about 20 kb from the 5'-end of the 31 kb-long MHV genomic RNA, is necessary and sufficient for MHV genomic RNA packaging into MHV particles.

Mechanism of RNA Packaging Motor
, 2011 P4 proteins are hexameric RNA packaging ATPases of dsRNA bacteriophages of the Cystoviridae family. P4 hexamers are integral part of the inner polymerase core and play several essential roles in the virus replication cycle. P4 proteins are structurally related to the hexameric helicases and translocases of superfamily 4 (SF4) and other RecA-like ...

Analysis of efficiently packaged defective interfering RNAs of murine coronavirus: localization of a possible RNA-packaging signal [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1990 We have previously shown that most of the defective interfering (DI) RNA of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) are not packaged into virions. We have now identified, after 21 serial undiluted passages of MHV, a small DI RNA, DIssF, which is efficiently packaged into virions.

The role of packaging sites in efficient and specific virus assembly
, 2015 During the lifecycle of many single-stranded RNA viruses, including many human pathogens, a protein shell called the capsid spontaneously assembles around the viral genome. Understanding the mechanisms by which capsid proteins selectively assemble around

Investigation of HIV-1 Gag binding with RNAs and Lipids using Atomic Force Microscopy [PDF]
, 2019 Atomic Force Microscopy was utilized to study the morphology of Gag, {\Psi}RNA, and their binding complexes with lipids in a solution environment with 0.1{\AA} vertical and 1nm lateral resolution. TARpolyA RNA was used as a RNA control.
