We noticed a potential to form four extra base pairs between 59and 39-flanking sequences (GACG and CGUU, respectively) of the 6BPGC hairpin stem (and other deletion mutants) due to the existence of a 59 SalI cloning site (Fig. S1A ). The results (Fig. S1C ) indicate that the two potential base pairs involving E-site sequences are not the main cause of observed attenuation activity in 293T cell cultures. Furthermore, mutating two nucleotides (27 nucleotides upstream of the E site) to disrupt Watson-Crick base pairs in the lower hairpin stem dramatically impairs attenuation activity (Fig. 2) , indicating that attenuation is not caused by primary sequencemediated flanking-sequences effects [12, 13] . ./cache/cord-305811-987dhnf7.txt ./txt/cord-305811-987dhnf7.txt
