cis-Acting elements important for retroviral RNA packaging specificity.
Spleen necrosis virus (SNV) proteins can package RNA from distantly related murine leukemia virus (MLV), whereas MLV proteins cannot package SNV RNA efficiently. We used this nonreciprocal recognition to investigate regions of packaging signals that influence viral RNA encapsidation specificity. Although the MLV and SNV packaging signals (Psi and E, respectively) do not contain significant sequ...
متن کاملMinimal cis-acting elements required for adenovirus genome packaging.
The design of drugs for treatment of virus infections and the exploitation of viruses as drugs for treatment of diseases could be made more successful by understanding the molecular mechanisms of virus-specific events. The process of assembly, and more specifically packaging of the genome into a capsid, is an obligatory step leading to future infections. To enhance our understanding of the mole...
متن کاملCis–Acting RNA Elements of Human Immunodeficiency Virus
The World Health Organization has indicated that effective control of the HIV/AIDS pandemic is the world’s most urgent public health challenge. The 2009 UNAIDS Global Facts and Figures report estimated that almost 60 million people have been infected with the virus and that 25 million AIDS-related deaths have occurred since the pandemic began in the early 1980s. In 2008, there were approximatel...
متن کاملcis- and trans-acting elements in flavivirus RNA replication.
Most of the seven flavivirus nonstructural proteins (NS1 to NS5) encoded in the distal two-thirds of the RNA positive-sense genome are believed to be essential components of RNA replication complexes. To explore the functional relationships of these components in RNA replication, we used trans-complementation analysis of full-length infectious RNAs of Kunjin (KUN) virus with a range of lethal i...
متن کاملcis-acting sequences required for coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus defective-RNA replication and packaging.
The parts of the RNA genome of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) required for replication and packaging of the RNA were investigated using deletion mutagenesis of a defective RNA (D-RNA) CD-61 (6.1 kb) containing a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene. A D-RNA with the first 544, but not as few as 338, nucleotides (nt) of the 5' terminus was replicated; the 5' untranslated region (UT...
