Abstract: Abstract In contrast to members of Picornaviridae which have long 5′-untranslated regions (5′UTRs) containing internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs) that form five distinct classes, members of Caliciviridae typically have short 5′UTRs and initiation of translation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2016.0177
Abstract: Viral internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) are unique RNA elements, which use stable and dynamic RNA structures to recruit ribosomes and drive protein synthesis. IRESs overcome the high complexity of the canonical eukaryotic translation initiation… read more here.
