The primary and secondary structures of operator RNA are shown in Figure 1. This RNA hairpin makes contacts with both subunits of a coat protein dimer.
Rep proteins of circoviruses, nanoviruses and geminiviruses consist of two domains, specifically, a N-terminal nicking domain (with conserved motifs 1, 2 and 3) and a C-terminal SF3 helicase domain (conserved motifs A, B and C) [ 21 22 ] . Conserved sequence motifs 1-3 are characteristic of Rep proteins that utilize the rolling circle mechanism of replication employed by different groups of viruses (circoviruses, nanoviruses, geminiviruses, bacteriophage φ ×-174) [ 21 23 24 25 ] . However, replication-associated proteins of animal parvoviruses, which utilize the rolling hairpin mechanism of replication, only contain motifs 2 and 3 [ 23 ] .
