Coordinated assembly of human translation initiation complexes by the hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site RNA
24 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Protein synthesis in all cells begins with recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit to the initiation codon in a messenger RNA. In some eukaryotic viruses, RNA upstream of the coding region forms an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) that directly binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit and enables translation initiation in the absence of many canonical translation initiation factors. The hepatitis C virus (HCV)...
