  • 3CD dimers bind Cre
  • 3D binds, uses adds pUpU to VPg using cre as a template.
  • To allow this sort of priming, active site must be more accessible than for viruses using de novo initiation.

Q

MLV stop-codon read-through

A

Pseudoknot downstream from stop codon.
If open ,then translation terminates.
If tight - due to protonation of a residue - then translation progresses.

122
Q

Poliovirus genome

A

7.5kb long genome
No cap but VPg instead at 5’ end
Then has 5’UTR which is not linear but has secondary structure which is very important for protein binding in replication —> must be unwound for passage of genome —> length and secondary structure effects translation efficiency
3’ UTR can regulate translation initiation and efficiency, and mRNA stability, with the poly(A) tail being necessary for efficient translation

123
Q

Similarities between IRESes

A

Few, if any, convincing similarities between IRES elements in terms of sequence, size, or structure except for those from families of related viruses —> implication is that there is no universal mechanism of internal ribosomal entry.

124
Q

Differences with Type II IRESes

A

Binds 40S directly
Different family - EMCV and FMDV.
Different factors (e.g. different PTB binding).

125
Q

Control of translation replication switch polio.

A

CLOVER LEAF : critical conc of 3CD reached binds the clover leaf → switch
mutate the clover leaf: more translation less negative strand synth
Build up of 3CD and 3D
mutations of 3CD or the cloverleaf binding site shift balance to translation
PCBP2 in association with stem-loop B of clover leaf enhances translation ten fold
3CD cleaves PCBP2 and competes for binding site
Cleavage of PCBP2 (Kirkegaard 2014)
cleaved PCBP2 still has a role in replication IS THIS THE SWITCH
localisation
nuclear recruitment

126
Q

Type I IRES recruitment of 43S

A

eIF4G/A binding recruits 43S.
eIF4G binding modified by PTB binding.
43S positioning modified by GARS.

127
Q

Corona: subgenomic RNAs code for…

A

NS, Spike, E, M and N proteins.
