The Stability of the Duplex between Sense and Antisense Transcription-Regulating Sequences Is a Crucial Factor in Arterivirus Subgenomic mRNA Synthesis
26 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Subgenomic mRNAs of nidoviruses (arteriviruses and coronaviruses) are composed of a common leader sequence and a "body" part of variable size, which are derived from the 5'- and 3'-proximal part of the genome, respectively. Leader-to-body joining has been proposed to occur during minus-strand RNA synthesis and to involve transfer of the nascent RNA strand from one site in the template to another. This...
