Functional analysis of the murine sarcoma virus RNA packaging sequence.
We investigated the features of the Moloney murine sarcoma virus leader sequence necessary for RNA packaging function by using a deletion analysis approach. We found that sequences that extend beyond those characterized genetically in previous reports are important for optimal packaging efficiency. A fragment covering a minimum of four potential stem-loop structures is required for the shortest...
متن کاملRNA structure. Structure of the HIV-1 RNA packaging signal.
The 5' leader of the HIV-1 genome contains conserved elements that direct selective packaging of the unspliced, dimeric viral RNA into assembling particles. By using a (2)H-edited nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) approach, we determined the structure of a 155-nucleotide region of the leader that is independently capable of directing packaging (core encapsidation signal; Ψ(CES)). The RNA adopts ...
متن کاملStructure-function relationship of Rous sarcoma virus leader RNA.
Cells infected by RSV synthesize viral 35S RNA as well as subgenomic 28S and 22S RNAs coding for the Env and Src genes respectively. In addition, at least the 5' 101 nucleotides of the leader are also conserved and we have shown previously that this sequence contains a strong ribosome binding site (J.-L. Darlix et al., J. Virol. 29, 597). We now report the RNA sequence of Rous Sarcoma virus (RS...
متن کاملImportance of basic residues in binding of rous sarcoma virus nucleocapsid to the RNA packaging signal.
In the context of the Rous sarcoma virus Gag polyprotein, only the nucleocapsid (NC) domain is required to mediate the specificity of genomic RNA packaging. We have previously showed that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae three-hybrid system provides a rapid genetic assay to analyze the RNA and protein components of the avian retroviral RNA-Gag interactions necessary for specific encapsidation. In t...
متن کاملcis-Acting RNA packaging locus in the 115-nucleotide direct repeat of Rous sarcoma virus.
The v-src gene of Schmidt-Ruppin strain A of Rous sarcoma virus is flanked by a 115-nucleotide direct repeat. Mutants that lack either the upstream or downstream copy replicate normally. However, mutants that lack both copies do not replicate. Cloned viral DNA lacking both copies of the 115-nucleotide sequence is capable of directing the transcription of viral RNA posttransfection. This viral R...
