Flavivirus RNA structures
More posts on Flavivirus RNA structures; the introduction is on the first page.
RNA–RNA interaction analysis of Japanese encephalitis virus
This study combines computational and biophysical analysis to characterize a long-range RNA-RNA interaction in Japanese encephalitis virus and to test the role of the conserved cyclization sequence.
RNA structure conservation and molecular epidemiology of TBEV
This study combines comparative RNA structure analysis with molecular epidemiology to characterize conserved and variable 3' UTR architectures across tick-borne encephalitis virus lineages.
Functional RNA structures in flavivirus 3′UTRs: xrRNAs, dumbbells, stem-loops
This chapter compares conserved functional RNA elements in the 3' UTRs of mosquito-borne flaviviruses, including xrRNAs, dumbbells, and terminal stem-loops.
Secondary and tertiary structure of the BVDV IRES
This post summarizes what SHAPE-guided modeling and 3D analysis reveal about a pseudoknot in the BVDV internal ribosome entry site and what that means for IRES function.
Mpulungu virus (MPFV) and unique xrRNAs in a novel African tick flavivirus
This study describes Mpulungu virus, a novel African tick flavivirus, and characterizes unusual exoribonuclease-resistant RNA structures in its 3' UTR.
