    Snippet: Alphaviruses continued: Though the sequence 3 of the shift site in the chikungunya-related virus, Semliki Forest virus can be drawn as a weak stem loop structure, mutagenic analysis showed no evidence for a relevant functional 3 secondary structure. Instead it was suggested that within the ribosome's mRNA entrance channel, it may act by pairing to rRNA (140) . The sequence between the shift site and the 3 pseudoknot frameshift stimulator in Midde.....
    Document: Alphaviruses continued: Though the sequence 3 of the shift site in the chikungunya-related virus, Semliki Forest virus can be drawn as a weak stem loop structure, mutagenic analysis showed no evidence for a relevant functional 3 secondary structure. Instead it was suggested that within the ribosome's mRNA entrance channel, it may act by pairing to rRNA (140) . The sequence between the shift site and the 3 pseudoknot frameshift stimulator in Middelburg virus, that in other circumstances would be called a spacer, is similar to that of Semliki Forest virus. Indeed mutating this sequence caused a drastic reduction in frameshift efficiency (140) . Further work is needed to ascertain if Middelburg virus frameshifting involves both pairing to rRNA and a pseudoknot.
