Abstract excerpt
The 5'UTR of the genomic RNA of CVB3, unusually long and rich on highly structured secondary structure, contains a conserved cis acting RNA element named the cryptic AUG (cAUG), where the cellular 48S complex is formed. In this study, we investigate the role of this cAUG in CVB3 translation, replication, and virulence. Mutant viral sub-genomic replicon RNA was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. We...
