Abstract excerpt
The strategies developed by internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements to recruit the translational machinery are poorly understood. In this study we show that protein-RNA interaction of the eIF4G translation initiation factor with sequences of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) IRES is a key determinant of internal translation initiation in living cells. Moreover, we have identified the nucleotides...
