In a recent issue of Science, Akiyama et al. (2016) prove the existence of a pseudoknot that stabilizes a nuclease-resistant RNA structure in the 3' untranslated region of Zika virus. This reinforced structure blocks the 5'→3' exonuclease Xrn1 for the production of pathogenic subgenomic flaviviral RNAs.
在最近一期的《科学》杂志上,秋山等人(2016年)证明了一种假结的存在,该假结可稳定寨卡病毒3'非翻译区中一种抗核酸酶的RNA结构。这种强化结构会阻断5'→3'外切核酸酶Xrn1,从而阻止致病性亚基因组黄病毒RNA的产生。
