In the current work, complete untranslated regions (UTRs) of four strains of ALSV and eight strains of YGTV were obtained. An analysis of these sequences, as well as JVG sequences from GenBank, uncovered several regions within viral UTRs that were highly conserved for all the segments and viruses. Bioinformatics predictions suggested that the UTRs of all the segments of YGTV, ALSV, and JMTV could form similar RNA structures. The most notable feature of these structures was a stable stem-loop with one (5\u2032 UTR) or two (3\u2032 UTR) AAGU tetraloops on the end of a hairpin.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v15040971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]],"date-time":"2023-04-17T04:45:32Z","timestamp":1681706732000},"page":"971","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Conserved Sequences in the 5\u2032 and 3\u2032 Untranslated Regions of Jingmenvirus Group Representatives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Alexander G.","family":"Litov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology of Arboviruses, FSASI \u201cChumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products of RAS\u201d (Institute of Poliomyelitis), 108819 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Egor V.","family":"Okhezin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology of Arboviruses, FSASI \u201cChumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products of RAS\u201d (Institute of Poliomyelitis), 108819 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119234 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3764-7081","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan S.","family":"Kholodilov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology of Arboviruses, FSASI \u201cChumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products of RAS\u201d (Institute of Poliomyelitis), 108819 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9040-0774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oxana A.","family":"Belova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology of Arboviruses, FSASI \u201cChumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products of RAS\u201d (Institute of Poliomyelitis), 108819 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Galina G.","family":"Karganova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Biology of Arboviruses, FSASI \u201cChumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products of RAS\u201d (Institute of Poliomyelitis), 108819 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"659","DOI":"10.1128\/JVI.02036-15","article-title":"Divergent Viruses Discovered in Arthropods and Vertebrates Revise the Evolutionary History of the Flaviviridae and Related Viruses","volume":"90","author":"Shi","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
