【 摘 要 】

Although numerous hypotheses, reviewed here, have been proposed the functional role of viral tRNA-like structures remains unknown. We describe and discuss a new model based on observations made mainly on TYMV RNA. By interacting with the tRNA-like structure, valyl-tRNA synthetase would allow an efficient translation of the viral genome. The generalization for other viral RNAs is proposed.
