Human La Antigen Is Required for the Hepatitis C Virus Internal Ribosome Entry Site-mediated Translation
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
The 5'-noncoding region (5'-NCR) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA genome serves as an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and mediates translation initiation in a cap-independent manner. Previously, we reported the interaction between La antigen and the HCV IRES, which appeared to occur in the context of initiator AUG. It was further shown that HCV IRES-mediated translation was stimulated in the presence of...
