Retroviral Psi packaging element

Retroviral Psi packaging element

Retroviral Psi packaging element is a cis-acting RNA element identified in the genomes of the retroviruses Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). It is involved in regulating encapsidation of the retroviral RNA, an essential step in replication cite journal | author = McBride MS, Panganiban AT | title = Position dependence of functional hairpins important for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 RNA encapsidation in vivo | journal = J.

This RNA element is known to have a secondary structure composed of four hairpins called SL1 to SL4 (SL is for Stem-loop).
