Detection of tRNA-like Structure through RNase P Cleavage of Viral Internal Ribosome Entry Site RNAs Near the AUG Start Triplet
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The 9600-base RNA genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) in its first 370 bases, including the AUG start triplet at bases 342-344. Structural elements of this and other IRES domains substitute for a 5' terminal cap structure in protein synthesis. Recent work (Nadal, A., Martell, M., Lytle, J. R., Lyons, A. J., Robertson, H. D., Cabot, B., Esteban, J. I., Esteban, R., Guardia,...
