A Dual Interaction Between the 5′- and 3′-Ends of the Melon Necrotic Spot Virus (MNSV) RNA Genome Is Required for Efficient Cap-Independent Translation

In eukaryotes, the formation of a 5′-cap and 3′-poly(A) dependent protein–protein bridge is required for translation of its mRNAs. In contrast, several plant virus RNA genomes lack both of these mRNA features, but instead have a 3′-CITE (for cap-independent translation enhancer), a RNA element prese...
