APOBEC3G encapsidation into HIV-1 virions: which RNA is it?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>APOBEC3G is a cytidine deaminase with potent antiviral activity. The protein deaminates single-stranded DNA but is known to bind cellular and viral RNAs. There is increasing evidence that RNA binding of APOBEC3G is important for packaging into viral particles. Ho...
