Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence immediately in front of the initiation site for subgenomic RNA 4 synthesis on RNA 3 minus strand, which has been proved to function as a core promoter, was inspected for secondary structure in 26 species of the plant virus family Bromoviridae. In 23 cases a stable hairpin could be predicted at a distance of 3 to 8 nucleotides from the initiation site of RNA 4. This hairpin contained...
