Structural and Functional Elements of the Promoter Encoded by the 5′ Untranslated Region of the Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Genome
11 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is one of the most pathogenic members of the Alphavirus genus in the Togaviridae family. The pathogenesis of this virus depends strongly on the sequences of the structural proteins and on the mutations in the RNA promoter encoded by the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of the viral genome. In this study, we performed a detailed investigation of the structural and...
