The 5' leader of the mRNA encoding the marek's disease virus serotype 1 pp14 protein contains an intronic internal ribosome entry site with allosteric properties.

We demonstrate the presence of a functional internal ribosome entry site (IRES) within the 5' leader (designated 5L) from a variant of bicistronic mRNAs that encode the pp14 and RLORF9 proteins from Marek's disease virus (MDV) serotype 1. Transcribed as a 1.8-kb family of immediate-early g...
