Location specific small RNA annealing to the HCV 5' UTR promotes Hepatitis C Virus replication by favoring IRES formation and stimulating virus translation
R. D. Kunden, S. Ghezelbash, J. Q. Khan, J. A. Wilson
This study identifies how miR-122 annealing to different sites on the HCV 5' UTR affects virus replication, translation, and IRES formation, proposing that genome stabilization is not the primary mechanism.
