Figure 2From: The internal initiation of translation in bovine viral diarrhea virus RNA depends on the presence of an RNA pseudoknot upstream of the initiation codonDeletion mutagenesis of the BVDV SD-1 5' UTR. Relative translation efficiency in BHK cells stably transfected with dicistronic expression plasmids carrying 5' and 3' deletions in the 5' UTR. The SEAP and luciferase values are normalized to specific mRNA levels. Domains depicted in Fig. 3 are indicated above the schematic representations of the expression plasmids.Back to article page
