One of the most important stage in the life cycle of all viruses is the encapsidation (packaging) of the viral genome. The viral genome packaging motor is a multicomponent molecular machine that must complete several task in sequential order, the foremost of which is the ATP-dependent pumping viral DNA into the procapsid.

Disease

The two methods of virion nucleic acid packaging known are (1) co-condensation of the nucleic acid with viral capsid proteins to form a virus particle ( employed by viruses such as HIV, TMV, AND M13 and (2) translocation of the nucleic acid into the a preformed procapsid shell ( found in eukaryotic viral families such as herpes and tailed dsDNA bacteriophages such T4, lambda and phi29, among others).
