Translation of SARS-CoV-2 gRNA Is Extremely Efficient and Competitive despite a High Degree of Secondary Structures and the Presence of an uORF
The SARS-CoV-2 infection generates up to nine different sub-genomic mRNAs (sgRNAs), in addition to the genomic RNA (gRNA). The 5′UTR of each viral mRNA shares the first 75 nucleotides (nt.) at their 5′end, called the leader, but differentiates by a variable sequence (0 to 190 nt. long) that follows...
