Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cis-acting replication element (CRE)

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cis-acting replication element (CRE)

The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) cis-acting replication element (CRE) is an RNA element which is found in the coding region of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase NS5B. Mutations in this family have been found to cause a blockage in RNA replication and it is thought that both the primary sequence and the structure of this element are crucial for HCV RNA replication.
