In molecular biology, the Hepatitis A virus cis-acting replication element (CRE) is an
RNA element which is found in the coding region of the
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) or RNA replicase is an enzyme that catalyzes the replication of RNA from an RNA template. Specifically, it catalyzes synthesis of the RNA strand complementary to a given RNA template. This is in contrast to t ...

Hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is larger than the CREs found in related
Picornavirus species, but is thought to be functionally similar. It is thought to be involved in uridylylation of
