Abstract excerpt
Initiation of translation on picornaviral RNA templates occurs via cap-independent ribosome binding to a cis-acting element, internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Mapping of the starting point of translation relative to the IRES was attempted using Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) RNA as a model. The possibility that the starting point is determined by the conserved oligopyrimidine upstream of the...
