VP1 and VP3 Are Required and Sufficient for Translation Initiation of Uncapped Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Genomic Double-Stranded RNA
1 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a bisegmented double-strand RNA (dsRNA) virus of the Birnaviridae family. While IBDV genomic dsRNA lacks a 5′ cap, the means by which the uncapped IBDV genomic RNA is translated effectively is unknown. In this study, we describe a cap-independent pathway of translation initiation of IBDV uncapped RNA that relies on VP1 and VP3. We show that neither purified IBDV...
