The tRNA-like structures at the 3' ends of plant viral RNAs provide one example where the pseudoknot format may be necessary to form a substrate that is specifically recognized by an enzyme. Previous structural mapping experiments by Draper and co-workers suggested a model for the 5' region of the mRNA which constitutes the S4 binding site; it envisions a hairpin helix and loop that encompasses nucleotides 19 to 72. The second study provides evidence that pseudoknot formation in a viral mRNA is required for frameshift suppression of a termination codon that, in turn, allows a fusion protein to be synthesized from two overlapping reading frames. This element encodes a stem-loop structure that starts six nucleotides downstream from the proposed site of frameshifting, near the end of the first reading frame. ./cache/cord-334123-wb45ww7f.txt ./txt/cord-334123-wb45ww7f.txt
