Translation of Sindbis virus mRNA: analysis of sequences downstream of the initiating AUG codon that enhance translation
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
Alphaviruses, particularly Sinbis virus and Semliki Forest virus, are proving to be useful vectors for the expression of heterologous genes. In infected cells, these self-replicating vectors (replicons) transcribe a subgenomic mRNA that codes for a heterologous protein instead of the structural proteins. We reported recently that translation of the reporter gene lacZ is enhanced 10-fold when the coding sequences...
