Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The genome of lentivirus including HIV is a positive sense single stranded RNA. The viral RNAs dimerize within virion connected each other by cis-RNA structure called dimer linkage structure (DLS). The reason, mechanism and process of dimerization are still unclear. In this research, I aimed to clarify the transition of a dynamic state and a morphology of lentiviral RNA in cell, from expression to virion packaging. This attempt will be achieved by the expansion of my research outcome so far. I planned this project for better understanding of the nature of lentiviruses.
