Pestivirus Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) Structure and Function: Elements in the 5′ Untranslated Region Important for IRES Function
15 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
The importance of certain structural features of the 5' untranslated region of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) RNA for the function of the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) was investigated by mutagenesis followed by in vitro transcription and translation. Deletions made from the 5' end of the CSFV genome sequence showed that the IRES boundary was close to nucleotide 65: thus, the IRES includes the whole of...
