Factor-Independent Assembly of Elongation-Competent Ribosomes by an Internal Ribosome Entry Site Located in an RNA Virus That Infects Penaeid Shrimp
21 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
The Taura syndrome virus (TSV), a member of the Dicistroviridae family of viruses, is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus which contains two nonoverlapping reading frames separated by a 230-nucleotide intergenic region. This intergenic region contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) which directs the synthesis of the TSV capsid proteins. Unlike other dicistroviruses, the TSV IRES contains an AUG...
