The influence of downstream protein-coding sequence on internal ribosome entry on hepatitis C virus and other flavivirus RNAs
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
Some studies suggest that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) requires downstream 5' viral polyprotein-coding sequence for efficient initiation of translation, but the role of this RNA sequence in internal ribosome entry remains unresolved. We confirmed that the inclusion of viral sequence downstream of the AUG initiator codon increased IRES-dependent translation of a reporter RNA...
