Translation of picornavirus RNA is initiated after ribosomal binding to an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) within the 5' untranslated region. We have reconstituted IRES-mediated initiation on encephalomyocarditis virus RNA from purified components and used primer extension analysis to confirm the fidelity of 48S preinitiation complex formation. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2), eIF3, and eIF4F were required for initiation; eIF4B and to a lesser extent the pyrimidine tract-binding protein stimulated this process. We show that eIF4F binds to the IRES in a novel cap-independent manner and suggest that cap- and IRES-dependent initiation mechanisms utilize different modes of interaction with this factor to promote ribosomal attachment to mRNA.
微小核糖核酸病毒RNA的翻译是在核糖体与5'非翻译区内的内部核糖体进入位点(IRES)结合后启动的。我们已从纯化成分中重建了脑心肌炎病毒RNA上IRES介导的起始过程,并使用引物延伸分析来确认48S起始前复合物形成的保真度。起始需要真核起始因子2(eIF2)、eIF3和eIF4F;eIF4B以及程度较轻的嘧啶序列结合蛋白刺激了这一过程。我们表明,eIF4F以一种新的不依赖帽的方式与IRES结合,并提出依赖帽和依赖IRES的起始机制利用与该因子不同的相互作用模式来促进核糖体与mRNA的附着。
