This pathogen's genome forms four stem loops, known as the psi packaging signal.
This pathogen's genome forms four stem loops, known as the psi packaging signal. Raltregavirtargets this organism's integrase, and it also produces the tat, rev, and vpr transactivators. Its coat ismade from p24. Its genome encodes for a combined gag-pol protein that is cleaved into severalproteins, and its env protein is cleaved into gp41 and gp120. This virus enters cells through the CCR5and (*) CD4 receptors. Treatments for infection with it include protease inhibitors and Zidovudine, whichis also known as AZT. This virus infects helper T-cells and its genome also encodes for a protein thatcreates DNA from its RNA genome, called reverse transcriptase. For 10 points, name this retrovirus whichcauses AIDS.
