Abstract excerpt
HCV RNA has a unique regulatory mechanism for translation. The X region of 3'-UTR and core-coding sequence regulate HCV translation. In this study, we clarified that the entire 3'-UTR also enhances HCV translation, and the envelope-coding sequence of HCV genotype 1b increases degree of this enhancement. In the luciferase reporter assay using rabbit reticulocyte lysates, translational enhancement by 3'-UTR with...
