Figure 7. A Specific Nucleocapsid Binding Domain in the HIV-1 Genome.

Figure 7

(A) SHAPE reactivities as a function of nucleotide position for ex virio (red), in virio (green), and AT-2-treated (blue) states.

(B) Difference plot illustrating the effect of AT-2 treatment on SHAPE reactivity relative to in virio genomic RNA. Sites of enhanced SHAPE reactivity upon compromising nucleocapsid zinc knuckle structures by AT-2 treatment are reported as positive peaks. Individual nucleotides showing large changes in reactivity are indicated with upward-pointing arrowheads and correspond to the same symbols shown in Figure 4A. Primary and secondary sites are emphasized with double (**) and single asterisks (*) , respectively. Reactivity differences are smoothed over a 5-nt window.
