title: Specific RNA-protein interactions in the replication of foamy viruses (FVs).
abstract: The FV pathway of replication is fundamentally different from what we know about the strategy employed by all known other retroviruses. This unique pathway involves some distinctive RNA-protein interactions, which range from nuclear RNA export to activation of reverse transcription late in the viral replication cycle. Some peculiarities of this replication strategy will be summarized here.
