Key result
Sequencing of the 5' region of the Tacaribe arenavirus L RNA revealed an open reading frame encoding a 95 amino acid polypeptide with a cysteine-rich sequence similar to zinc finger proteins.

No immediate clinical implications for arenaviral disease; extends Tacaribe virus genome characterization and leaves open the polypeptide's functional role.
The study completes the Tacaribe arenavirus genome structure by identifying a novel open reading frame encoding a potential zinc-finger protein in the 5' region of the L RNA.
Iapalucci et al. (1989) studied Tacaribe arenavirus. Sequencing of the 5' region of the Tacaribe arenavirus L RNA revealed an open reading frame encoding a 95 amino acid polypeptide with a cysteine-rich sequence similar to zinc finger proteins.
