Few basepairing-independent motifs in the apical half of the avian HBV ε RNA stem-loop determine site-specific initiation of protein-priming

Hepadnaviruses, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), replicate their tiny DNA genomes by protein-primed reverse transcription of a pregenomic (pg) RNA. Replication initiation as well as pgRNA encapsidation depend on the interaction of the viral polymerase, P protein, with the ε RNA element, feat...
