Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that both 3' and 5' conserved termini of influenza A virus virion RNA are involved in the initiation of transcription. An RNA-fork model has been proposed, according to which there is a crucial double-stranded region formed by complementary bases at positions 10 to 12 of the 3' terminus and bases at positions 11' to 13' of the 5' terminus, which are extended by 2 or 3 segment-specific base...
