MS2 Box



The MS2 box acts as a binding site for the MS2 coat protein, formed downstream in the replicon, which represses translation hence preventing exponential growth of the replicon. Exploiting the MS2 box-protein binding relationship is known as MS2 tagging.

MS2 Coat Protein



This coding sequence forms a protein which binds to the MS2 box, hairpin type structure, and represses translation of the replicon.
