Abstract
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.Entities:
