Abstract excerpt
Alphavirus genome function is controlled by elements at both the 5' and 3' ends. The 5' 220 nt of the Sindbis virus genome is predicted to consist of four stem-loop structures the first of which has been demonstrated to be required for efficient minus-strand RNA synthesis. To understand the role of the structure of the first stem-loop (SL1) in regulating genome function, we performed enzymatic and chemical...
