Abstract excerpt
In brome mosaic virus, both the replication of the genomic (+)-RNA strands and the transcription of the subgenomic RNA are carried out by the viral replicase. The production of (-)-RNA strands is dependent on the formation of an AUA triloop in the stem-loop C (SLC) hairpin in the 3'-untranslated region of the (+)-RNA strands. Two alternate hypotheses have been put forward for the mechanism of subgenomic RNA...
