Tombusvirus recruitment of host translational machinery via the 3′ UTR

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses recruit the host translational machinery by different mechanisms that depend partly on the structure of their genomes. In this regard, the plus-strand RNA genomes of several different pathogenic plant viruses do not contain traditional translation-stimulating elements, i.e., a 5'-cap structure and a 3'-poly(A) tail, and instead rely on a 3'-cap-independent translational enhancer (3'CITE) located in...
