Abstract excerpt
The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) is a cis-acting element found in certain RNA viruses. In virus-infected cells, the Senecavirus A (SVA) IRES can directly recruit the small ribosomal subunit to an internal initiation codon on the mRNA, enabling translation initiation independently of both the 5' cap structure of the viral genome and the host cell eukaryotic initiation factor 4F (eIF4F). As a small RNA...
