The 3′ end of the foot-and-mouth disease virus genome establishes two distinct long-range RNA–RNA interactions with the 5′ end region
8 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
The untranslated regions (UTRs) of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) genome contain multiple functional elements. In the 5' UTR, the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element governs cap-independent translation initiation, whereas the S region is presumably involved in RNA replication. The 3' UTR, composed of two stem-loops and a poly(A) tract, is required for viral infectivity and stimulates IRES...
