Leaky Scanning Is the Predominant Mechanism for Translation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E7 Oncoprotein from E6/E7 Bicistronic mRNA
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are unique in that they generate mRNAs that apparently can express multiple proteins from tandemly arranged open reading frames. The mechanisms by which this is achieved are uncertain and are at odds with the basic predictions of the scanning model for translation initiation. We investigated the unorthodox mechanism by which the E6 and E7 oncoproteins from human papillomavirus type 16...
