Hepatitis C stem-loop IV
Encyclopedia
The Hepatitis C stem-loop IV is part of a putative RNA element
found in the NS5B coding region. This element along with stem-loop VII
, is important (but not essential) for colony formation, though its exact function and mechanism are unknown.
Cis-regulatory element
A cis-regulatory element or cis-element is a region of DNA or RNA that regulates the expression of genes located on that same molecule of DNA . This term is constructed from the Latin word cis, which means "on the same side as". These cis-regulatory elements are often binding sites for one or...

Hepatitis C virus stem-loop VII
Hepatitis C virus stem-loop VII is a regulatory element found in the coding region of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene, NS5B. Similarly to stem-loop IV, the stem-loop structure is important for colony formation, though its exact function and mechanism are unknown.-See also:*Hepatitis C...
