Bamboo mosaic potexvirus (BaMV) cis-regulatory element explained

Bamboo mosaic potexvirus (BaMV) cis-regulatory element
Symbol:	BaMV_CRE
Rfam:	RF00290
Rna Type:	Cis-reg
Tax Domain:	Viruses

The Bamboo mosaic potexvirus (BaMV) cis-regulatory element represents a cloverleaf-like cis-regulatory element found in the 3' UTR of the bamboo mosaic virus. This family is thought to play an important role in the initiation of minus-strand RNA synthesis and may also be involved in the regulation of viral replication.^[1]
