Abstract excerpt
In Giardia lamblia, enhanced translation of luciferase mRNA, flanked between the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and 3 '-end of giardiavirus transcript, requires the presence of the initial 264-nucleotide (nt) viral capsid-coding region. By introducing the transcripts of dicistronic viral constructs into Giardia, we demonstrated that the 264-nt downstream region alone is insufficient to function as an internal...
