Identifies 3' UTR-cellular factor binding as essential for picornavirus replication in animals; leaves open therapeutic targeting pending human validation.
Binding of a cellular factor to the 3' UTR of picornaviruses plays a crucial role in virus replication, which is dependent on RNA secondary structure.
Mellits et al. (1998) studied this question.
