Cell proteins bind specifically to West Nile virus minus-strand 3' stem-loop RNA
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
The first 96 nucleotides of the 5'noncoding region (NCR) of West Nile virus (WNV) genomic RNA were previously reported to form thermodynamically predicted stem-loop (SL) structures that are conserved among flaviviruses. The complementary minus-strand 3' NCR RNA, which is thought to function as a promoter for the synthesis of plus-strand RNA, forms a corresponding predicted SL structure. RNase probing of the WNV...
