- Aphthovirus internal ribosome entry site (IRES)
This family represents the
internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of the the "aphthovirus es". [cite journal | last = Fernandez-Miragall | first = O | coauthors = Martinez-Salas E | year = 2003 | title = Structural organization of a viral IRES depends on the integrity of the GNRA motif | journal = RNA | volume = 9 | pages = 1333–1344 | pmid = 14561883 | doi = 10.1261/rna.5950603] IRES elements allow cap and end-independent translation ofmRNA in the host cell. The IRES achieves this by mediating the internal initiation of translation by recruiting aribosomal 43S pre-initiation complex directly to the initiationcodon and eliminates the requirement for theeukaryotic initiation factor eIF4F.
