A coding RNA sequence acts as a replication signal in cardioviruses
28 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Theiler's virus and Mengo virus are representatives of the Cardiovirus genus within the picornavirus family. Their genome is an 8-kilobase long positive strand RNA molecule. This RNA molecule plays three roles in infected cells: It serves as a messenger RNA, acts as a template for genome replication, and is encapsidated to form progeny virions. We observed that a cis-acting signal required for replication of...
