Functionally interchangeable cis-acting RNA elements in both genome segments of a picorna-like plant virus

Abstract Cis-acting RNA structures in the genomes of RNA viruses play critical roles in viral infection, yet their importance in the bipartite genomes of the picorna-like, plant-infecting comoviruses has not been carefully investigated. We previously characterized SLC, a stem-loop structure in the 5...
