Key Words	Hepatitis C virus; 3’UTR; 3’X-tail; 3’X region; 3’X RNA; RNA structure
Core Tip	Several different secondary structure models of the 3’X region have been proposed. It is likely that the 3’X region adopts more than one structural form in infected cells and that a specific equilibrium between the various forms regulates several aspects of the viral life cycle. This article summarizes current knowledge of the structure and function of the 3’X region of hepatitis C genomic RNA, reviews previous opinions, presents new hypotheses and summarizes the questions that still remain unanswered.
