In Vivo and In Vitro Identification of Structural and Sequence Elements of the Human Parechovirus 5′ Untranslated Region Required for Internal Initiation

Abstract excerpt

Sequence analysis of the picornavirus echovirus 22 led to its classification as the first member of a new genus, Parechovirus, and renaming as human parechovirus type 1 (HPeV1). Although distinct from other genera in most of the genome, the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) shows similarities to that of cardio/aphthoviruses in some of its structural domains (A to L). The 5'UTR plays an important role in picornavirus...
