Jun-ichi Sakuragi Department of Viral Infections, Research Institute for Microbial Diseases (RIMD), Osaka niversity. Yamadaoka 3-1, Suita ity, Osaka , Japan sakuragi@biken.osaka-u.ac.jp The genomic RN of retrovirus, including the primate lentivirus such as HIV, always form dimers in matured virions. It is likely that the presence of two genomes in one virion is advantageous for survival, providing an extra template that can be used when one RN molecule is damaged, and/or giving genetic variety to their progeny. However, these ideas might not fully explain why the virion have to carry multiple identical RNs in spite of the severe limitation of the space. We developed and utilized a novel system to investigate viral RN dimerization in virion clearly and simply without affecting RN packaging. The results of precise mapping of dimerization functional region strongly suggested that the RN dimerization is one of the essential steps of RN packaging.
