Specific Recognition of a Stem-Loop RNA Structure by the Alphavirus Capsid Protein

Specific Recognition of a Stem-Loop RNA Structure by the Alphavirus Capsid Protein

Alphaviruses are small enveloped viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes. During infection, the alphavirus capsid protein (Cp) selectively packages and assembles with the viral genomic RNA to form the nucleocapsid core, a process critical to the production of infectious virus. Prior studies of the a...
