Key result

Mutating upstream secondary structures ~150 nucleotides before ORF2 impairs RSV M2 coupled translation.

Population

Respiratory syncytial virus M2 transcript

Implication

May inform RSV antiviral design targeting M2 translation; leaves open in vivo relevance and clinical translation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Respiratory syncytial virus M2 transcript
I
Intervention
Mutation of sequences upstream of the ORF2 initiation codons to remove predicted areas of base pairing
C
Comparator
Wild-type/unmutated sequences
O
Outcome
Efficiency of coupled translationsurrogate

Upstream sequences with significant secondary structure act in conjunction with the M2-1/M2-2 overlap region to promote coupled translation of the RSV M2 transcript.
