RNA Structural Requirements for Nucleocapsid Protein-Mediated Extended Dimer Formation
Retroviruses package two copies of their genomic RNA (gRNA) as non-covalently linked dimers. Many studies suggest that the retroviral nucleocapsid protein (NC) plays an important role in gRNA dimerization. The upper part of the L3 RNA stem-loop in the 5′ leader of the avian leukosis virus (ALV) is c...
