Abstract excerpt
Although the internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) of viral mRNAs are highly structured and comprise several hundred nucleotides, there is a variety of evidence indicating that very short nucleotide sequences, both naturally occurring and synthetic, can similarly mediate internal initiation of translation. In this study, we performed deletion and mutational analyses of an IRES contained within the 720-nucleotide...
