Non-canonical Translation in Plant RNA Viruses
Viral protein synthesis is completely dependent upon the host cell's translational machinery. Canonical translation of host mRNAs depends on structural elements such as the 5' cap structure and/or the 3' poly(A) tail of the mRNAs. Although many viral mRNAs are devoid of one or both of these structures, they can still translate efficiently using non-canonical mechanisms. Here, we review the tool...
متن کاملNon-canonical translation in RNA viruses
Viral protein synthesis is completely dependent upon the translational machinery of the host cell. However, many RNA virus transcripts have marked structural differences from cellular mRNAs that preclude canonical translation initiation, such as the absence of a 5' cap structure or the presence of highly structured 5'UTRs containing replication and/or packaging signals. Furthermore, whilst the ...
متن کاملAlternative Translation Strategies in Plant Viruses
Plant viruses have evolved several unconventional translational strategies that allow efficient expression of more than one protein from their compact, multifunctional RNAs, as well as regulation of polycistronic translation in the infected plant cell. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of these unconventional mechanisms, which include leaky scanning, ribosome shunting, intern...
متن کاملRNA recombination in animal and plant viruses.
An increasing number of animal and plant viruses have been shown to undergo RNA-RNA recombination, which is defined as the exchange of genetic information between nonsegmented RNAs. Only some of these viruses have been shown to undergo recombination in experimental infection of tissue culture, animals, and plants. However, a survey of viral RNA structure and sequences suggests that many RNA vir...
متن کاملHijacking the translation apparatus by RNA viruses
As invading viruses do not harbor functional ribosomes in their virions, successful amplification of the viral genomes requires that viral mRNAs compete with cellular mRNAs for the host cell translation apparatus. Several RNA viruses have evolved remarkable strategies to recruit the host translation initiation factors required for the first steps in translation initiation by host cell mRNAs. Th...
