UGA stop codon readthrough to translate intergenic region of Plautia stali intestine virus does not require RNA structures forming internal ribosomal entry site
Abstract:The translation of capsid proteins of Plautia stali intestine virus (PSIV), encoded in its second open reading frame (ORF2), is directed by an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) located in the intergenic region (IGR). Owing to the specific properties of PSIV IGR in terms of nucleotide length and frame organization, capsid proteins are also translated via stop codon readthrough in mammalian cultured cells as an extension of translation from the first ORF (ORF1) and IGR. To delineate stop codon readthrough in … Show more
