cis -Acting Sequences and Secondary Structures in Untranslated Regions of Duck Tembusu Virus RNA Are Important for Cap-Independent Translation and Viral Proliferation
9 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
The genus Flavivirus includes major human pathogens, as well as animal-infecting viruses with zoonotic potential. In order to counteract the threats these viruses represent, it is important to understand their basic biology to develop universal attenuation strategies. Here, we demonstrate that five different flaviviruses use cap-independent translation, indicating that the phenomenon is probably common to all...
