The Topology of Bulges in the Long Stem of the Flavivirus 3′ Stem-Loop Is a Major Determinant of RNA Replication Competence
29 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
All flavivirus genomes contain a 3'terminal stem-loop secondary structure (3'SL) formed by the most downstream approximately 100 nucleotides (nt) of the viral RNA. The 3'SL is required for virus replication and has been shown to bind both virus-coded and cellular proteins. Results of the present study using an infectious DNA for WN virus strain 956 initially demonstrated that the dengue virus serotype 2 (DEN2)...
