Abstract excerpt
Both the 5' end of the Sindbis virus (SIN) genome and its complement in the 3' end of the minus-strand RNA synthesized during virus replication serve as parts of the promoters recognized by the enzymes that comprise the replication complex (RdRp). In addition to the 5' untranslated region (UTR), which was shown to be critical for the initiation of replication, another 5' sequence element, the 51-nucleotide (nt)...
