The Togavirus 5' plus strand cis-regulatory element is an RNA element which is thought to be essential for both plus and minus strand RNA synthesis.[1]

Genus Alphavirus belongs to the family Togaviridae. Alpha viruses contain secondary structural motifs in the 5' UTR that allow them to avoid detection by IFIT1.[2]
