Determination of the secondary structure of and cellular protein binding to the 3'-untranslated region of the hepatitis C virus RNA genome
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains a positive-stranded RNA genome of approximately 9.5 kb. Despite the overall sequence diversity among individual HCV isolates, the 3'-end 98 nucleotides (nt) of the HCV RNA, which constitute part of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), are highly conserved. This conserved region may contain the cis-acting signals for RNA replication involving possibly both viral and cellular...
