Abstract excerpt
The hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site (IRES) binds directly to the 40S ribosomal subunit via domains III/IV while domain II induces conformational changes on the ribosome which have been implicated in the decoding process. Here, we performed an extensive mutational study within the apical portion of domain II in order to address the functional role of this region on translation. Our results showed...
