Proposed model for the generation and function of vsRNA1. During EV71 infection, a small proportion of viral RNA is processed by Dicer, and vsRNA1 is generated from the IRES (purple). vsRNA1 targets stem-loop II of the viral IRES (marked in green) and downregulates the translation of viral proteins.
