Methionine-independent initiation of translation in the capsid protein of an insect RNA virus.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Feb 2000

Sasaki J, Nakashima N

Abstract excerpt

Protein synthesis is believed to be initiated with the amino acid methionine because the AUG translation initiation codon of mRNAs is recognized by the anticodon of initiator methionine transfer RNA. A group of positive-stranded RNA viruses of insects, however, lacks an AUG translation initiation codon for their capsid protein gene, which is located at the downstream part of the genome. The capsid protein of one...
