A three-stemmed mRNA pseudoknot in the SARS coronavirus frameshift signal.

A three-stemmed mRNA pseudoknot in the SARS coronavirus frameshift signal.

A wide range of RNA viruses use programmed -1 ribosomal frameshifting for the production of viral fusion proteins. Inspection of the overlap regions between ORF1a and ORF1b of the SARS-CoV genome revealed that, similar to all coronaviruses, a programmed -1 ribosomal frameshift could be used by the v...
