Differential factor requirement to assemble translation initiation complexes at the alternative start codons of foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA
25 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) RNA contains two in-frame AUG codons separated by 84 nt that direct translation initiation of the viral polyprotein. The mechanism of initiation at the IRES-proximal AUG codon (AUG1) has been previously analyzed, whereas no data on factor requirements for AUG2 have been reported. Here, using the method of 48S translation initiation complex reconstitution, we show that eIF1...
