Abstract
Translation initiation on poliovirus mRNA in poliovirus-infected cells has been shown to occur by internal binding of ribosomes to the 5' noncoding region (J. Pelletier and N. Sonenberg, Nature [London] 334:320-325, 1988). Here we show that internal ribosome binding can occur in HeLa cell extracts in vitro. Internal binding to the 5' noncoding region of poliovirus mRNA in a bicistronic context was independent of the upstream open reading frame and did not require poliovirus proteins.Entities:
