    ..A unique reading frame could be deduced, which indicated that the replicase gene ends with a U-A-G termination signal and is followed by a 174-nucleotide-long untranslated segment. ..

    ..The out-of-phase fraction of ribosomes terminates at either one of two nonsense codons just preceding the lysis cistron. Termination is followed by initiation at the start codon of the lysis protein message. ..

    ..It can moreover be used as a basis for models of virus function, e.g. to characterize the start and end configurations of a structural transition important for infection. ..

    ..The arrangement of the nucleotide bases in the loop of the stem-loop is different, leading to a difference in the stacking at the conserved Tyr86, which is equivalent to Tyr85 in MS2. ..

    ..Additionally, our research highlights the importance of the highly conserved P330 residue in the C-terminal domain of DnaJ for specific protein interactions. ..
