Specific site selection in RNA resulting from a combination of nonspecific secondary structure and -CCR- boxes: initiation of minus strand synthesis by turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Abstract excerpt

A turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity was used to study the template requirements for in vitro minus strand synthesis, which is initiated specifically opposite the 3'-CCA that terminates the 3'-tRNA-like structure. A deletion survey confirmed earlier results suggesting the absence of minus strand promoter elements upstream of the pseudoknotted acceptor stem and 3'-terminus....
