TL;DR: A nuclear magnetic resonance approach was developed that enabled direct detection of structural elements within the intact leader that are critical for genome packaging and support a packaging mechanism in which translation, dimerization, NC binding, and packaging are regulated by a common RNA structural switch.

TL;DR: The structure shows how the 5′ leader binds to the HIV protein that directs packaging, how unspliced dimeric genomes are selected for packaging, and how translation is suppressed when the genome dimerizes.
