Specific interaction of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein with the extreme 3'-terminal structure of the hepatitis C virus genome, the 3'X
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a highly conserved 98-nucleotide (nt) sequence, the 3'X, as the extreme 3'-terminal structure of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome (T. Tanaka, N. Kato, M.-J. Cho, and K. Shimotohno, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 215:744-749, 1995). Since the 3' end of positive-strand viral RNA is the initiation site of RNA replication, the 3'X should contribute to HCV negative-strand RNA synthesis....
