The DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX6 is required for efficient encapsidation of a retroviral genome.

Viruses have to encapsidate their own genomes during the assembly process. For most RNA viruses, there are sequences within the viral RNA and virion proteins needed for high efficiency of genome encapsidation. However, the roles of host proteins in this process are not understood. Here we find that...
