Enteroviral 3′ UTR element explained

Enteroviral 3′ UTR element
Symbol:	Entero_OriR
Rfam:	RF00041
Rna Type:	Cis-reg
Tax Domain:	Viruses

In molecular biology, the enteroviral 3′ UTR element is an RNA structure found in the 3′ UTR of various enteroviruses. The overall structure forms the origin of replication (OriR) for the initiation of (-) strand RNA synthesis.^[1] Pseudoknots have also been predicted in this structure.^[1]
