Abstract excerpt
The pentanucleotide (PN) sequence 5'-CACAG-3' at the top of the 3' stem-loop structure of the flavivirus genome is well conserved in the arthropod-borne viruses but is more variable in flaviviruses with no known vector. In this study, the sequence requirements of the PN motif for yellow fever virus 17D (YFV) replication were determined. In general, individual mutations at either the second, third or fourth...
