Cap-Independent Enhancement of Translation by a Plant Potyvirus 5' Nontranslated Region

Creator:

Carrington, James C. and Freed, Deon D.

Abstract:

The RNA genome of tobacco etch virus (TEV), a plant potyvirus, functions as an mRNA for synthesis of a 346-kilodalton polyprotein that undergoes extensive proteolytic processing. The RNA lacks a normal 5' cap structure at its terminus, which suggests that the mechanism of translational initiation differs from that of a...
