Initiation of translation on nedicistrovirus and related intergenic region IRESs by their factor-independent binding to the P site of 80S ribosomes
11 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Initiation of translation on many viral mRNAs occurs by noncanonical mechanisms that involve 5′ end-independent binding of ribosomes to an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). The ∼190-nt-long intergenic region (IGR) IRES of dicistroviruses such as cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) initiates translation without Met-tRNAiMetor initiation factors. Advances in metagenomics have revealed numerous dicistrovirus-like...
