Characterizing the function and structural organization of the 5' tRNA-like motif within the hepatitis C virus quasispecies.

abstract：:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the stability of highly repetitive rDNA array is maintained through transcriptional silencing. Recently, a β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase Gas1 has been shown to play a significant role in the regulation of transcriptional silencing in S. cerevisiae. Here, we show that the gas1Δ mutation incre...
