Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) 5'-untranslated region and, in particular, domains II to IV are involved in the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) structure. Recent structural evidence has shown that the function of domain II may be to hold the coding RNA in position until the translational machinery is correctly assembled on the decoding site. However, a comprehensive mutational and functional study concerning the...
