Abstract excerpt
The 3' nontranslated region (NTR) of the pestivirus Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a close relative of human Hepatitis C virus, consists of three stem-loops which are separated by two single-stranded regions. As in other positive-stranded RNA viruses, the 3' NTR of pestiviruses is involved in crucial processes of the viral life cycle. While several studies characterized cis-acting elements within the 3' NTR...
