    Snippet: In conclusion, bioinformatic analysis demonstrated the presence of a conserved RNA secondary structure in the C coding region of the divergent TBFV group. Disruption of this structure compromised virus replication implying an REE function for SL6. By homology with the TBFVs, SL6-like structures were observed in the genomes of some MBFVs and plausibly indicate a similar role as replication enhancers. Future studies using sub-genomic replicons will.....
    Document: In conclusion, bioinformatic analysis demonstrated the presence of a conserved RNA secondary structure in the C coding region of the divergent TBFV group. Disruption of this structure compromised virus replication implying an REE function for SL6. By homology with the TBFVs, SL6-like structures were observed in the genomes of some MBFVs and plausibly indicate a similar role as replication enhancers. Future studies using sub-genomic replicons will allow direct measurement of the influence of these sequences on RNA replication and on interaction with viral and host proteins.
