Tertiary folds of the SL5 RNA from the 5′ proximal region of SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses
2023-11-22
Abstract excerpt
Coronavirus genomes sequester their start codons within stem-loop 5 (SL5), a structured, 5′ genomic RNA element. In most alpha- and betacoronaviruses, the secondary structure of SL5 is predicted to contain a four-way junction of helical stems, some of which are capped with UUYYGU hexaloops. Here, using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and computational modeling with biochemically-determined secondary struct...
