Stem-Loop III in the 5′ Untranslated Region Is a <i>cis</i> -Acting Element in Bovine Coronavirus Defective Interfering RNA Replication
27 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Higher-order structures in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of plus-strand RNA viruses are known in many cases to function as cis-acting elements in RNA translation, replication, or transcription. Here we describe evidence supporting the structure and a cis-acting function in defective interfering (DI) RNA replication of stem-loop III, the third of four predicted higher-order structures mapping within the...
