Structure of the SARS-CoV-2 Frameshift Stimulatory Element with an Upstream Multibranch Loop
10 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) frameshift stimulatory element (FSE) is necessary for programmed -1 ribosomal frameshifting (-1 PRF) and optimized viral efficacy. The FSE has an abundance of context-dependent alternate conformations, but two of the structures most crucial to -1 PRF are an attenuator hairpin and a three-stem H-type pseudoknot structure. A crystal structure of the...
