Abstract excerpt
Using cell-free reactions, we investigated the role of the 5' cloverleaf (5'CL) and associated C-rich sequence in Coxsackievirus B3 RNA replication. We showed that the binding of poly(C) binding protein (PCBP) to the C-rich sequence was the primary determinant of RNA stability. In addition, inhibition of negative-strand synthesis was only observed when PCBP binding to both stem-loop 'b' and the C-rich sequence...
