Translation initiation: Insect virus RNAs rewrite the rule book
Picorna-like insect virus RNAs direct an unorthodox form of translation initiation at a non-AUG-related codon, without involvement of initiator tRNA. This seems to involve a special type of mRNA pseudoknot structure which allows bypassing of the usual P-site-dependent mechanism.
متن کاملMethionine-independent initiation of translation in the capsid protein of an insect RNA virus.
Protein synthesis is believed to be initiated with the amino acid methionine because the AUG translation initiation codon of mRNAs is recognized by the anticodon of initiator methionine transfer RNA. A group of positive-stranded RNA viruses of insects, however, lacks an AUG translation initiation codon for their capsid protein gene, which is located at the downstream part of the genome. The cap...
متن کاملMonocistronic translation of alfalfa mosaic virus RNAs.
The four alfalfa mosaic virus RNAs (respectively 24 S, 20 S, 17 S and 12 S) have been used separately as messengers in two in vitro protein synthesizing systems: wheat germ and rabbit reticulocyte lysate. In both systems a polypeptide corresponding to the translation of the entire length of the RNA can be found for RNAs 24 S, 20 S and 12 S, but not for 17 S RNA, the translation product of which...
متن کاملLentiviral RNAs can use different mechanisms for translation initiation.
The full-length genomic RNA of lentiviruses can be translated to produce proteins and incorporated as genomic RNA in the viral particle. Interestingly, both functions are driven by the genomic 5'-UTR (5'-untranslated region), which harbours structural RNA motifs for the replication cycle of the virus. Recent work has shown that this RNA architecture also functions as an IRES (internal ribosome ...
متن کاملRewrite Rule Systems for Modal Propositional Logic
D This paper explains new results relating modal propositional logic and rewrite rule systems. More precisely, we give complete term rewriting systems for the modal propositional systems known as K, Q, T, and S5. These systems are presented as extensions of Hsiang’s system for classical propositional calculus. We have checked local confluence with the rewrite rule system K.B. (cf. the Knuth-Ben...
