An Internal Ribosome Entry Segment Promotes Translation of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Genomic RNA
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
The retroviral genomic RNA is the messenger for the synthesis of the group-specific antigen (gag) and polymerase precursors of the major structural proteins and enzymes of the virion. The 5'-untranslated leader of the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) genomic RNA is formed of highly structured domains involved in key steps of the viral life cycle. Thus, the presence of stable RNA structures between the 5'-cap...
