An Unusual Internal Ribosomal Entry Site Of Inverted Symmetry Directs Expression Of A Potato Leafroll Polerovirus Replication-Associated Protein
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA(2003)
Abstract
Potato leafroll polerovirus (PLRV) genomic RNA acts as a polycistronic mRNA for the production of proteins P0, P1, and P2 translated from the T-proximal half of the genome. Within the P1 coding region we identified a 5-kDa replication-associated protein 1 (Rapl) essential for viral multiplication. An internal ribosome entry site (IRES) with unusual structure and location was identified that regulates Rapl translation. Core structural elements for internal ribosome entry include a conserved AUG codon and a downstream GGAGAGAGAGG motif with inverted symmetry. Reporter gene expression in potato protoplasts confirmed the internal ribosome entry function. Unlike known IRES motifs, the PLRV IRES is located completely within the coding region of Rapl at the center of the PLRV genome.
