Abstract excerpt
All viruses must usurp host ribosomes for viral protein synthesis. Dicistroviruses utilize an intergenic region internal ribosome entry site (IGR IRES) to directly recruit ribosomes and mediate translation initiation from a non-AUG start codon. The IGR IRES adopts a three-pseudoknot structure that comprises a ribosome binding domain of pseudoknot II and III (PKII and PKIII), and a tRNA-like anticodon domain (PKI)...
