Genetics (HCV)
Novel Way to Block HCV Protein Synthesis Reported
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, December 21st, 1998
Researchers S. Das and M. Ott suggest that the inhibition of internal entry site-mediated translation by a small yeast RNA could block hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication.
The observation that poliovirus mRNA is not translated in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has led to the discovery of a small RNA (60 nt, called IRNA, inhibitor RNA) which was later shown to specifically inhibit internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation of naturally uncapped mRNAs.
Translation of cellular capped mRNAs was not...
