Characterization of the Sequence Element Directing Translation Reinitiation in RNA of the Calicivirus Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus
28 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The calicivirus minor capsid protein VP2 is expressed via reinitiation of protein synthesis after termination of translation of the preceding VP1 gene. A sequence element of about 80 nucleotides denoted "termination upstream ribosomal binding site" (TURBS) (25) is crucial for reinitiation. Deletion mapping in the TURBS of a rabbit calicivirus identified two short sequence motifs that were crucial for VP2...
