Abstract excerpt
Many positive-stranded RNA viruses contain short, single-stranded 3' ends that are vulnerable to degradation by host cellular RNases. Therefore, the existence of a 3'-end repair mechanism (analogous to cellular telomerases) must be required and/or advantageous for RNA viruses. Accordingly, we provide evidence suggesting that deletions of up to 6 nt from the 3' end of satellite (sat-) RNA C (a small parasitic RNA...
