In addition to the canonical UTR structures, we provide here a direct in vivo evidence for genome cyclization in SARS-CoV-2, mediated by long-range base-pairing between the 5′ and 3′ UTRs ( Figures 5B and S4B ). The long-distance RNA structure map for SARS-CoV-2 provides a practical starting point to dissect the regulation of discontinuous transcription, as it identifies cis-acting elements that interact with each other to create genome topologies that favour the synthesis of the ensemble of sgmRNAs. RNA viruses evolve sophisticated mechanisms to enhance the functional capacity of their size-restricted genomes and to regulate the expression levels of their replicase components. ./cache/cord-318478-fn0gcxbb.txt ./txt/cord-318478-fn0gcxbb.txt
