Mutational analysis of the J-K stem-loop region of the encephalomyocarditis virus IRES.

Journal of virology - 1 Jul 1995

Abstract excerpt

Cap-independent translation of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) RNA is controlled by a segment of the 5' untranslated region termed the internal ribosomal entry site, or IRES. The IRES contains a series of stem-loop structural elements. The J and K stems (EMCV bases 682 to 795), near the center...
