Abstract excerpt
The cowpea strain of southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV-C) is a positive-sense RNA virus. Three open reading frames (ORF-1, ORF2, and ORF3) are expressed from the genomic RNA. The ORF1 and ORF2 initiation codons are located at nucleotide (nt) positions 49 and 570, respectively. ORF1 is expressed by a 5' end-dependent scanning mechanism, but it is not known how ribosomes gain access to the ORF2 initiation codon. In...
