Poly(A) binding protein 1 enhances cap-independent translation initiation of neurovirulence factor from avian herpesvirus.

Poly(A) binding protein 1 (PABP1) plays a central role in mRNA translation and stability and is a target by many viruses in diverse manners. We report a novel viral translational control strategy involving the recruitment of PABP1 to the 5' leader internal ribosome entry site (5L IRES) of an im...
