Notes: * Assignment to Tombusviridae is provisional: umbraviruses contain two gRNAs and only one of them (which carries 3′ CITE) resembles other members of this family.

** In this case mutation analysis did not confirm the predicted kissing interaction with a 5′ proximal hairpin.

*** Factor binding was demonstrated by a non-equilibrium method.
