  • Encapsidation of the genomic RNA (gRNA) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is mediated by a specific interaction between the viral Gag protein and an RNA structure in the 59 untranslated region (59UTR) called encapsidation signal or Psi (Y). This association leads to incorporation of gRNA dimers into Gag/GagPol particles. (emlinhibitor.com)
