Tymovirus/Pomovirus tRNA-like 3' UTR element
Symbol:Tymo_tRNA-like
Rfam:RF00233
Rna Type:Cis-reg
Tax Domain:Viruses

The tymoviruses/pomovirusesfamily tRNA-like 3' UTR element is an RNA element found in the 3' UTR of some viruses. This element acts in conjunction with UPSK RNA and a 5'-cap to enhance translation.[1] The secondary structure of this RNA element is a cloverleaf that resembles tRNA.
