The Citrus tristeza virus replication signal is a regulatory element involved in a viral replication signal which is highly conserved in citrus tristeza viruses. Replication signals are required for viral replication and are usually found near the 5' and 3' termini of protein coding genes. This element is predicted to form ten stem loop structures some of which are essential for functions that provide for efficient viral replication.
