Equine arteritis virus leader TRS hairpin (LTH)

The equine arteritis virus leader transcription-regulating sequence hairpin (LTH) is as RNA element that is thought to be a key structural element in discontinuous subgenomic RNA synthesis and is critical for leader transcription-regulating sequences (TRS) function.[1] Similar structures have been predicted in other arteriviruses and coronaviruses.[2]
