Abstract
Picornavirus Type 1 IRESs comprise five principal domains (dII-dVI). Whereas dV binds eIF4G, a conserved AUG in dVI was suggested to stimulate attachment of 43S ribosomal preinitiation complexes, which then scan to the initiation codon. Initiation on Type 1 IRESs also requires IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs), and several candidates have been proposed. Here, we report the in vitro reconstitution of initiation on three Type 1 IRESs: poliovirus (PV), enterovirus 71 (EV71), and bovine enterovirus (BEV). All of them require eIF2, eIF3, eIF4A, eIF4G, eIF4B, eIF1A, and a single ITAF, poly(C) binding protein 2 (PCBP2). In each instance, initiation starts with binding of eIF4G/eIF4A. Subsequent recruitment of 43S complexes strictly requires direct interaction of their eIF3 constituent with eIF4G. The following events can differ between IRESs, depending on the stability of dVI. If it is unstructured (BEV), all ribosomes scan through dVI to the initiation codon, requiring eIF1 to bypass its AUG. If it is structured (PV, EV71), most initiation events occur without inspection of dVI, implying that its AUG does not determine ribosomal attachment.

Ribosomal Initiation Complex Assembly within the Wild-Strain of Coxsackievirus B3 and Live-Attenuated Sabin3-like IRESes during the Initiation of Translation. Int J Mol Sci 2013; 14:4400-18.

Abstract
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is an enterovirus of the family of Picornaviridae. The Group B coxsackieviruses include six serotypes (B1 to B6) that cause a variety of human diseases, including myocarditis, meningitis, and diabetes. Among the group B, the B3 strain is mostly studied for its cardiovirulence and its ability to cause acute and persistent infections. Translation initiation of CVB3 RNA has been shown to be mediated by a highly ordered structure of the 5'-untranslated region (5'UTR), which harbors an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Translation initiation is a complex process in which initiator tRNA, 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits are assembled by eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) into an 80S ribosome at the initiation codon of the mRNA. We have previously addressed the question of whether the attenuating mutations of domain V of the poliovirus IRES were specific for a given genomic context or whether they could be transposed and extrapolated to a genomic related virus, i.e., CVB3 wild-type strain. In this context, we have described that Sabin3-like mutation (U473→C) introduced in CVB3 genome led to a defective mutant with a serious reduction in translation efficiency. In this study, we analyzed the efficiency of formation of ribosomal initiation complexes 48S and 80S through 10%-30% and 10%-50% sucrose gradients using rabbit reticulocyte lysates (RRLs) and stage-specific translation inhibitors: 5'-Guanylyl-imidodiphosphate (GMP-PNP) and Cycloheximide (CHX), respectively. We demonstrated that the interaction of 48S and 80S ribosomal complexes within the mutant CVB3 RNA was abolished compared with the wild-type RNA by ribosome assembly analysis. Taken together, it is possible that the mutant RNA was unable to interact with some trans-acting factors critical for enhanced IRES function.

Abstract
To understand better how different genomic regions may confer pathogenicity for the coxsackievirus B (CVB), two intratypic CVB1 variants, and a number of recombinant viruses were studied. Sequencing analysis showed 23 nucleotide changes between the parental non-pathogenic CVB1N and the pathogenic CVB1Nm. Mutations present in CVB1Nm were more conserved than those in CVB1N when compared to other CVB sequences. Inoculation in C3H/HeJ mice showed that the P1 region is critical for pathogenicity in murine pancreas and heart. The molecular determinants of disease for these organs partially overlap. Several P1 region amino acid differences appear to be located in the decay-accelerating factor (DAF) footprint CVBs. CVB1N and CVB1Nm interacted with human CAR, but only CVB1N seemed to interact with human DAF, as determined using soluble receptors in a plaque-reduction assay. However, the murine homolog Daf-1 did not interact with any virus assessed by hemagglutination. The results of this study suggest that an unknown receptor interaction with the virus play an important role in the pathogenicity of CVB1Nm. Further in vivo studies may clarify this issue.

Human embryonic stem cells and derived contractile embryoid bodies are susceptible to Coxsakievirus B infection and respond to interferon Iβ treatment. Stem Cell Res 2010; 6:13-22.

Abstract
We studied the susceptibility of human embryonic stem cells and derived contractile embryoid bodies from WAO9, HUES-5 and HUES-16 cell lines to Coxsackievirus B infection. After validating stem cell-like properties and cardiac phenotype, Coxsackievirus B receptors CAR and DAF, as well as type I interferon receptors were detected in all cell lines and differentiation stages studied. Real-time PCR analysis showed that CAR mRNA levels were 3.4-fold higher in undifferentiated cells, while DAF transcript levels were 2.78-fold more abundant in differentiated cultures (P<0.05). All cell lines were susceptible to Coxsackievirus serotypes B1-5 infection as shown by RT-PCR detection of viral RNA, immunofluorescence detection of viral protein and infectivity titration of cell culture supernatants resulting in cell death. Supernatants infectivity titers 24-48 h post-infection ranged from 10⁵-10⁶ plaque forming units (PFU)/ml, the highest titers were detected in undifferentiated cells. Cell viability detected by a colorimetric assay, showed inverse correlation with infectivity titers of cell culture supernatants. Treatment with 100 U of interferon Iβ significantly reduced viral replication and associated cell death during a 24-48 h observation period, as detected by reduced infectivity titers in the supernatants and increased cell viability by a colorimetric assay, respectively. We propose human embryonic stem cell and derived contractile embryoid bodies as a valid model to study cardiac Coxsackievirus B infection.

Abstract
Two mutants of coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1), CVB1c and CVB1e, with mutations in the stem-loop H of 5'-UTR were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. The A at nt579 of CVB1c was substituted by G. The U at nt573 and A at nt579 of CVB1e were substituted by A and G. The virulences of these mutants had been assessed by means of cytopathic effect (CPE), plaque formation, one-step growth curve, and 50% lethal dose (LD50) assays. The pathogenesis of these mutants was evaluated by attacking suckling Balb/c mice. Plaque assay and one-step growth curve showed that the replication of CVB1c and CVB1e on HeLa cells was significantly faster than that of their prototype CVB1n. Data of CPE assay, LD50, and pathological examination showed that CVB1c and CVB1e were more virulent than CVB1n. These data showed that mutation at nt579 (A-->G) alone and mutations at nt579 (A-->G) and nt573 (U-->A) together within 5'-UTR caused significant augment of the virulence and pathogenesis of coxsackievirus B1, and suggested that nt573 and nt579 might be molecular determinants for the virulence of coxsackievirus B1.

Abstract
The scanning hypothesis provides an explanation for events preceding the first peptide bond formation during the translation of the vast majority of eukaryotic mRNAs. However, this hypothesis does not explain the translation of eukaryotic mRNAs lacking the cap structure required for scanning. The existence of a group of positive sense RNA viruses lacking cap structures (e.g. picornaviruses) indicates that host cells also contain a 5' cap-independent translation mechanism. This review discusses the translation mechanisms of atypical viral mRNAs such as picornaviruses and hepatitis c virus, and uses these mechanisms to propose a general theme for all translation, including that of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic mRNAs.

Abstract
Of all the steps in mRNA translation, initiation is the one that differs most radically between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Not only is there no equivalent of the prokaryotic Shine-Dalgarno rRNA-mRNA interaction, but also what requires only three initiation factor proteins (aggregate size approximately 125 kDa) in eubacteria needs at least 28 different polypeptides (aggregate >1600 kDa) in mammalian cells, which is actually larger than the size of the 40 S ribosomal subunit. Translation of the overwhelming majority of mammalian mRNAs occurs by a scanning mechanism, in which the 40 S ribosomal subunit, primed for initiation by the binding of several initiation factors including the eIF2 (eukaryotic initiation factor 2)-GTP-MettRNA(i) complex, is loaded on the mRNA immediately downstream of the 5'-cap, and then scans the RNA in the 5'-->3' direction. On recognition of (usually) the first AUG triplet via base-pairing with the Met-tRNA(i) anticodon, scanning ceases, triggering GTP hydrolysis and release of eIF2-GDP. Finally, ribosomal subunit joining and the release of the other initiation factors completes the initiation process. This sketchy outline conceals the fact that the exact mechanism of scanning and the precise roles of the initiation factors remain enigmatic. However, the factor requirements for initiation site selection on some viral IRESs (internal ribosome entry sites/segments) are simpler, and investigations into these IRES-dependent mechanisms (particularly picornavirus, hepatitis C virus and insect dicistrovirus IRESs) have significantly enhanced our understanding of the standard scanning mechanism. This article surveys the various alternative mechanisms of initiation site selection on mammalian (and other eukaryotic) cellular and viral mRNAs, starting from the simplest (in terms of initiation factor requirements) and working towards the most complex, which paradoxically happens to be the reverse order of their discovery.

Abstract
Translation initiation of the coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) RNA has been shown to be mediated by a highly ordered structure of the 5'-UTR, which harbors an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). In this study, we have investigated the 48S ribosome assembly site and also characterized the intervening spacer region between the cryptic AUG591 and the initiator AUG742. The ribosomal complex formation was mapped by toe-printing experiment using rabbit reticulocyte lysate, which showed a major toe print at nucleotide U570 corresponding to the 48S ribosome assembly site at the putative Shine-Dalgarno like sequence. Elucidation of the secondary structure of a segment encompassing the ribosome binding site and the downstream spacer region by nuclease probing and chemical modifications demonstrated distinct stem and loop structure. Interestingly, a GAGA loop in the apical region of stem-loop H was found to be phylogenetically conserved as a GNRA-loop among the coxsackie B viruses. Deletion or substitution mutation of this apical GAGA loop drastically reduced binding with human La protein and significantly affected the IRES function. The study revealed important insights into the possible role of the intervening spacer region in cellular protein binding and influencing internal initiation of translation of CVB3 RNA.

Abstract
Group B coxsackieviruses (CVB) cause numerous diseases, including myocarditis, pancreatitis, aseptic meningitis and possibly type 1 diabetes. To date, infectious cDNA copies of CVB type 3 (CVB3) genomes have all been derived from pathogenic virus strains. An infectious cDNA copy of the well-characterized, non-pathogenic CVB3 strain GA genome was cloned in order to facilitate mapping of the CVB genes that influence expression of a virulence phenotype. Comparison of the sequence of the parental CVB3/GA population, derived by direct RT-PCR-mediated sequence analysis, to that of the infectious CVB3/GA progeny genome demonstrated that an authentic copy was cloned; numerous differences were observed in coding and non-coding sequences relative to other CVB3 strains. Progeny CVB3/GA replicated similarly to the parental strain in three different cell cultures and was avirulent when inoculated into mice, causing neither pancreatitis nor myocarditis. Inoculation of mice with CVB3/GA protected mice completely against myocarditis and pancreatitis induced by cardiovirulent CVB3 challenge. The secondary structure predicted for the CVB3/GA domain II, a region within the 5′ non-translated region that is implicated as a key site affecting the expression of a cardiovirulent phenotype, differs from those predicted for cardiovirulent and pancreovirulent CVB3 strains. This is the first report characterizing a cloned CVB3 genome from an avirulent strain.

Abstract
Translation initiation of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) RNA is directed by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) within the 5' untranslated region. However, the details of ribosome-template recognition and subsequent translation initiation are still poorly understood. In this study, we have provided evidence to support the hypothesis that 40S ribosomal subunits bind to CVB3 RNA via basepairing with 18S rRNA in a manner analogous to that of the Shine-Dalgarno (S-D) sequence in prokaryotic systems. We also identified a new site within both the 18S rRNA and the polpyrimidine-tract sequence of the IRES that allows them to form stronger sequence complementation. All these data were obtained from in vitro translation experiments using mutant RNAs containing either an antisense IRES core sequence at the original position or site-directed mutations or deletions in the polypyrimidine tract of the IRES. The mutations significantly reduced translation efficiency but did not abolish protein synthesis, suggesting that the S-D-like sequence is essential, but not sufficient for ribosome binding. To determine how ribosomes reach the initiation codon after internal entry, we created additional mutants: when the authentic initiation codon at nucleotide (nt) 742 was mutated, a 180-nt downstream in-frame AUG codon at nt 922 is able to produce a truncated smaller protein. When this mutation was introduced into the full-length cDNA of CVB3, the derived viruses were still infectious. However, their infectivity was much weaker than that of the wild-type CVB3. In addition, when a stable stem-loop was inserted upstream of the initiation codon in the bicistronic RNA, translation was strongly inhibited. These data suggest that ribosomes reach the initiation codon from the IRES likely by scanning along the viral RNA.

Abstract
To identify the genetic determinants of virulence for swine vesicular disease virus, a panel of recombinant and site-directed mutant viruses were constructed from cDNA clones of a virulent J1'73 strain and an avirulent H/3'76 strain. Initial studies mapped the genetic determinants of virulence to either or both of the two sites at nucleotide (nt) 2842, encoding VP1-132, and nt 3355, encoding 2A-20. To determine their relative importance with regard to virulence, viruses mutated at either of these two sites from the avirulent to the virulent genotype and vice versa were tested in pigs. Viruses, mutated at nt 2842 to the virulent genotype (vSVLS104MJ1) or mutated at nt 3355 to the virulent genotype (vSVLS201MJ1), slightly recovered virulence but were very weak compared with viruses with site-directed mutations at both sites (vSVLS104/201MJ1). On the other hand, viruses, mutated at nt 2842 to the avirulent genotype (vSVLS104M00) or mutated at nt 3355 to the avirulent genotype (vSVLS201M00), did not have attenuated virulence. Sequence analysis of viruses recovered from inoculated pigs revealed that reversion at nt 3355 to the virulent genotype occurred in pigs which had been inoculated with vSVLS201M00. These results suggested that both amino acids determined the virulent phenotype, but that the 2A-20 site might be the major determinant for virulence.

Abstract
The linear, single-stranded enterovirus RNA genome is flanked at either end with a nontranslated region (NTR). By replacing the entire 5' NTR of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) with that from type 1 poliovirus, a progeny virus was obtained following transfection of HeLa cells. The chimeric virus, CPV/49, replicates like the parental CVB3 strain in HeLa cells but is attenuated for replication and yield in primary human coronary artery endothelial cell cultures, in a human pancreas tumor cell line, and in primary murine heart fibroblast cultures. Western blotting analyses of CPV/49 replication in murine heart fibroblast cultures demonstrate that synthesis of CPV/49 proteins is significantly slower than that of the parental CVB3 strain. CPV/49 replicates in murine hearts and pancreata, causing no disease in hearts and a minor pancreatic inflammation in some mice that resolves by 28 days postinoculation. A single inoculation with CPV/49 induces protective anti-CVB3 neutralizing antibody titers that completely protect mice from both heart and pancreatic disease when mice are challenged 28 days p.i. with genetically diverse virulent strains of CVB3. That a chimeric CVB3 strain, created from sequences of two virulent viruses, is sufficiently attenuated to act as an avirulent, protective vaccine strain in mice suggests that chimeric genome technology merits further evaluation for the development of new nonpoliovirus enteroviral vectors.

Abstract
Translation initiation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA is controlled by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) contained in 5' noncoding region (NCR) and in several nucleotides of the coding region. The ability of a 25-kilodalton cellular protein (p25) to bind the HCV 5' NCR is correlated with the efficiency of translation initiation of HCV RNA, indicating that this protein plays a critical role in HCV translation (S. Fukushi, C. Kurihara, N. Ishiyama, F. B. Hoshino, A. Oya, and K. Katayama, J Virol 71, 1662-1666, 1997). We have extended the study for identification of the IRES region required for p25 binding. For this purpose, we have performed UV cross-linking competition analyses using 5'- or 3'- deleted mutants of the HCV 5' NCR as competitor RNAs for binding of p25 to wild-type HCV 5' NCR. Competitor RNAs lacking nucleotides (nt) 47-74 or nt 279-331 did not inhibit p25 binding to the HCV IRES, indicating that these regions are necessary for interaction of the p25 and HCV IRES. Since p25 binding was not observed in the IRES elements of encephalomyocarditis virus and poliovirus in UV cross-linking competition analyses, the p25 binding may be specific for the HCV IRES. p25 bound to the HCV IRES was detected when a purified 40S ribosomal subunit was used for UV cross-linking experiment, indicating that p25 is one of 40S ribosomal subunit proteins. These results reveal an unique interaction between the 40S ribosomal subunit and HCV IRES to contribute to translation initiation of the HCV genome.

Abstract
Translation initiation of poliovirus and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA occurs by entry of ribosomes to the internal RNA sequence, called the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). Both IRES bind to the La protein and are thought to require the protein for their translation initiation activity, although they are greatly different in both the primary and predicted secondary structures. To compare the La protein requirement for these IRES, we took advantage of I-RNA from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has been reported to bind to La protein and block poliovirus IRES-mediated translation initiation. In a cell-free translation system prepared from HeLa cells, yeast I-RNA inhibited translation initiation on poliovirus RNA as expected, but did not significantly inhibit translation initiation on HCV RNA. However, the translation initiation directed by either IRES was apparently inhibited by I-RNA in rabbit reticulocyte lysates, in which La protein is limiting. I-RNA-mediated inhibition of HCV IRES-dependent translation in rabbit reticulocyte lysates was reversed by exogenous addition of purified recombinant La protein of smaller amounts than necessary to reverse poliovirus IRES-dependent translation. These results suggest that HCV IRES requires lower concentrations of La protein for its function than does poliovirus IRES. Immunofluorescence studies showed that HCV infection appeared not to affect the subcellular localization of La protein, which exists mainly in the nucleus, although La protein redistributed to the cytoplasm after poliovirus infection. The data are compatible with the low requirement of La protein for HCV IRES activity.

The properties of chimeric picornavirus IRESes show that discrimination between internal translation initiation sites is influenced by the identity of the IRES and not just the context of the AUG codon.

Abstract
The internal ribosome entry segment (IRES) of picornaviruses consists of approximately 450 nt of 5'-untranslated region, terminating at the 3' end with an approximately 25 nt element consisting of an absolutely conserved UUUC motif followed by a more variable pyrimidine-rich tract and G-poor spacer, and finally an AUG triplet, which is considered to be the actual ribosome entry site. Events following entry at this site differ among picornaviruses: in encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) virtually all ribosomes initiate translation at this site (AUG-11); in foot-and-mouth-disease virus (FMDV), one-third of the ribosomes initiate at this AUG (the Lab site), and the rest at the next AUG 84 nt downstream (Lb site); and in poliovirus (PV), the AUG at the 3' end of the IRES (at nt 586 in PV type 1) is considered to be a silent entry site, with all ribosomes initiating translation at the next AUG downstream (nt 743). To investigate what determines this different behavior, chimeras were constructed with a crossover at the conserved UUUC motif: the body of the IRES, the sequences upstream of this UUUC motif, was derived from one species, and the downstream sequences from another. When the body of the FMDV or PV IRESes was replaced by that of EMCV, there was a marked increase in the absolute and relative frequency of initiation at the upstream AUG, the Lab site of FMDV and 586AUG of PV, respectively. In contrast, when the body of the EMCV IRES was replaced by that of PV, initiation occurred with no preference at three AUGs: the normal site (AUG-11), AUG-10 situated 8 nt upstream, and AUG-12, which is 12 nt downstream. Thus although the context of the AUG at the 3' end of the IRES may influence initiation frequency at this site, as was shown by improving the context of 586AUG of PV, the behavior of the ribosome is also highly dependent on the nature of the upstream IRES. Delivery of the ribosome to this AUG in an initiation-competent manner is particularly efficient and accurate with the EMCV IRES.

Abstract
In the human central nervous system, susceptibility to poliovirus (PV) infection is largely confined to a specific subpopulation of neuronal cells. PV tropism is likely to be determined by cell-external components such as the PV receptor CD155, as well as cell-internal constraints such as the availability of a suitable microenvironment for virus propagation. We reported previously that the exchange of the cognate internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) within the 5' nontranslated region of PV with its counterpart from human rhinovirus type 2 (HRV2) can eliminate the neuropathogenic phenotype in a transgenic mouse model for poliomyelitis without diminishing the growth properties in HeLa cells. We now show that attenuation of neurovirulence of PV/HRV2 chimeras is not confined to CD155 transgenic mice but is evident also after intraspinal inoculation into Cynomolgus monkeys. We have dissected the PV and HRV2 IRES elements to determine those structures responsible for neurovirulence (or attenuation) of these chimeric viruses. We report that two adjacent stem loop structures within the IRES cooperatively determine neuropathogenicity.

Abstract
The mRNA of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the major angiogenic growth factor, contains an unusually long (1,038 nucleotides) and structured 5' untranslated region (UTR). According to the classical translation initiation model of ribosome scanning, such a 5' UTR is expected to be a strong translation inhibitor. In vitro and bicistronic strategies were used to show that the VEGF mRNA translation was cap independent and occurred by an internal ribosome entry process. For the first time, we demonstrate that two independent internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) are present in this 5' UTR. IRES A is located within the 300 nucleotides upstream from the AUG start codon. RNA secondary structure prediction and site-directed mutagenesis allowed the identification of a 49-nucleotide structural domain (D4) essential to IRES A activity. UV cross-linking experiments revealed that IRES A activity was correlated with binding of a 100-kDa protein to the D4 domain. IRES B is located in the first half of the 5' UTR. An element between nucleotides 379 and 483 is required for its activity. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that a main IRES B-bound protein was the polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB), a well-known regulator of picornavirus IRESs. However, we showed that binding of the PTB on IRES B does not seem to be correlated with its activity. Evidence is provided of an original cumulative effect of two IRESs, probably controlled by different factors, to promote an efficient initiation of translation at the same AUG codon.

Abstract
Four mutants of the virulent Mahoney strain of poliovirus were generated by introducing mutations in nucleotides (nt) 128 to 134 of the genome, a region that contains a part of the stem-loop II (SLII) structure located within the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES; nt 120 to 590) (K. Shiroki, T. Ishii, T. Aoki, Y. Ota, W.-X. Yang, T. Komatsu, Y. Ami, M. Arita, S. Abe, S. Hashizume, and A. Nomoto, J. Virol. 71:1-8, 1997). These mutants (SLII mutants) replicated well in human HeLa cells but not in mouse TgSVA cells that had been established from the kidney of a poliovirus-sensitive transgenic mouse. Their neurovirulence in mice was also greatly attenuated compared to that of the parental virus. The poor replication activity of the SLII mutants in TgSVA cells appeared to be attributable to reduced activity of the IRES. Two and three naturally occurring revertants that replicated well in TgSVA cells were isolated from mutants SLII-1 and SLII-5, respectively. The revertants recovered IRES activity in a cell-free translation system from TgSVA cells and returned to a neurovirulent phenotype like that of the Mahoney strain in mice. Two of the revertant sites that affected the phenotype were identified as being at nt 107 and within a region from nt 120 to 161. A mutation at nt 107, specifically a change from uridine to adenine, was observed in all the revertant genomes and exerted a significant effect on the revertant phenotype. Exhibition of the full revertant phenotype required mutations in both regions. These results suggested that nt 107 of poliovirus RNA is involved in structures required for the IRES activity in mouse cells.

Abstract
The past 50 years have revealed an array of significant developments in our documentation and understanding of viruses and their associated diseases. The CVB, as enteroviruses, were discovered in the search for poliomyelitis-related viruses by the inoculation of newborn mice. Future strategies for the discovery of additional viruses will undoubtedly come through the application of differentiating cell culture systems with increased susceptibility to infection by specific viruses. Developments in regulation of the cell cycle also will contribute to the better definition of events controlling persistent infections caused by the CVB. Methods utilizing molecular biological probes in situ will prove to be major aids in identifying the molecular events in CVB pathogenesis. Virology of the CVB continues to be an exciting area for research and application of preventive measures to lesson human suffering. The chapters in this book which follow will amplify most of the themes briefly presented here.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) carries an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) within the 5' portion of the RNA. To identify structures that influence efficiency of the translation initiation, relative activities of modified IRESs were examined by using engineered bicistronic mRNAs, between the two cistrons of which various mutant IRESs were inserted. An IRES derived from genotype 2b is at least two times more efficient than one from genotype 1b in cultured cells. Activity ratios of genotype 2b IRES to 1b IRES differ in magnification among cultured cells, suggesting the difference in assortment of IRES-related host factors among individual cell types. Recombinant IRESs between the genotypes show similar or higher activities compared with 2b IRES in cell-free systems and show intermediate activities in cultured cells. Patterns of relative activities of those IRESs indicate that the IRES activity is not regulated by defined structure(s), although a cluster of different nucleotides is observed in the genome region of nucleotides 176-224 between the two alleles. The results suggest that a highly ordered structure formed by the entire 5' portion of the RNA is important for the IRES activity. The 5' border of HCV IRES was examined by using a series of deletion RNAs in various systems. The results strongly suggest that the border resides between nucleotide positions 28 and 45. Patterns of relative activities of the deletion IRESs differ in translation systems or cell types. These results imply that interactions of HCV RNA with the related transacting factor(s) may differ in the translation systems or cell types.

Abstract
Studies demonstrated that a strain derived from an infectious clone of coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1N) (N. Iizuka, H. Yonekawa, and A. Nomoto, J. Virol. 65:4867-4873, 1991) was 3 to 4 log10 less virulent than the myotropic Tucson strain of CVB1 (CVB1T) following intraperitoneal inoculation of newborn mice. Replacement of nucleotides (nt) 69 to 804 from the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) and 1A coding region of CVB1N or nt 117 to 161 from the 5' UTR with the corresponding part from CVB1T restored greater than 90% of the virulence. Sequencing of the 5' UTR of CVB1T demonstrated areas with a greater similarity to particular echoviruses than to CVB1N, suggesting that recombination events might have occurred, perhaps influencing the virulence phenotype.

Abstract
Infection of outbred CD-1 mice with the Tucson strain of coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1T) leads to the development of chronic hind limb weakness and associated inflammatory muscle disease. Host factors that influence susceptibility have not been studied in this mouse model of chronic inflammatory myopathy (IM). Therefore, the pathogenesis was examined by using different inbred strains of mice. Initially, seven strains of mice with either the H-2d or H-2b major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotype were evaluated. All strains showed similar levels of acute mortality caused by viral infection, but chronic weakness or inflammation did not develop in two strains with the B6 background, regardless of their MHC haplotype. In susceptible mice, weakness was more likely to develop in the H-2d strains than in mice with the H-2b haplotype. Based on these results, H-2 congenic strains of the susceptible B10 background (C57BL/10 and B10.D2) and the resistant B6 background (C57BL/6 and B6.C-H2d) were examined in greater detail. During acute infection, the kinetics and degree of viral replication in hind limb muscle were similar among B6 and B10 strains. By 4 weeks after infection, more intense chronic muscle inflammation and pathology were observed in susceptible B10 mice of the H-2d haplotype than in those of the H-2b haplotype. Resistant B6 mice did not show signs of inflammation or calcification, but they did exhibit some myopathic features, including centralized nuclei and variations in myofiber size and shape. These changes were less common in resistant B6 mice than in B10 strains but were significant when compared with changes in uninfected controls. Viral RNA persistence and elevated titers of antiviral IgG were more prevalent in but not restricted to susceptible strains. These studies demonstrate that host background genes confer resistance to chronic IM but also that MHC genes influence disease severity. They also reveal that susceptibility to acute CVB1T infection is under different genetic control than that which mediates development of chronic post-viral IM.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism with which an appropriate AUG codon is selected as the start site for translational initiation by eukaryotic ribosomes is not known. By using a cell-free translation system, small RNA molecules containing single AUG codons, surrounded by various nucleotide sequences, were tested for their abilities to interfere with the translation of a reporter mRNA. RNAs containing the AUG in an ACCAUGG context (Kozak consensus sequence) were able to inhibit translation of the reporter mRNA. In contrast, RNAs containing the AUG in a less favorable context for start site selection (for example, CAGAUGG) had no effect on the translation of the reporter mRNA. The effect mediated by the ACCAUGC-containing RNAs was not due to sequestration of ribosomal subunits or to particular structural features in these RNAs. To identify potential trans-acting factors that might be preferentially bound by ACCAUGG-containing RNAs, ACCAUGG- and CAGAUGC-containing RNAs with a single 4-thiouridine residue at the AUG were incubated with partially fractionated extracts, and AUG-binding proteins were identified after irradiation of the complexes with UV light and subsequent analysis by gel electrophoresis. The analysis (of such complexes in competition experiments revealed that proteins, approximately 50 and 100 kDa in size, were found to bind directly at the AUG codon embedded in the ACCAUGG motif. One of these proteins has been identified as the La autoantigen. These findings indicate that trans-acting factors may play a role in AUG start site selection during translational initiation.

Abstract
Fifteen clinical coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) isolates were assessed for cardiopathologic capabilities in adolescent male CD-1 mice in comparison to two well characterized cardiovirulent CVB3 strains. One isolate was cardiovirulent, one minimally cardiovirulent and the remaining 13 isolates were noncardiovirulent. The two cardiovirulent isolates and one well characterized cardiovirulent strain, established higher viremic titers, in comparison to five noncardiovirulent isolates that were examined. The two cardiovirulent isolates and one well characterized cardiovirulent strain replicated to significantly higher titers than five noncardiovirulent isolates in primary cultures of murine neonatal or adolescent cardiac fibroblasts. Nucleotide sequence analysis of an area defined by nucleotides(N)300-N599 in the 5'-nontranslated region were performed on the two well characterized cardiovirulent CVB3 strains, the two cardiovirulent isolates and 12 noncardiovirulent isolates. The data detected a single discriminatory nucleotide position. An A was present at N565 in three of four cardiovirulent CVB3, whereas a U or C was present in this position in 12 of 12 noncardiovirulent CVB3. In toto, these data are compatible with the hypothesis that the type of the nucleotide at N565, a position within the internal ribosome entry site, is associated with capacity of a CVB3 for replication in vivo and in vitro and this capacity for vigorous replication is associated with cardiovirulence.

Abstract
The prototype Hill of echovirus 9, a human enterovirus, exhibits no pathogenicity for newborn mice in contrast to some other echovirus 9 strains isolated subsequently during epidemics. In this communication we report the first complete nucleotide sequence and construction of an infectious clone of echovirus 9. Aside from the 3' poly(A)-tract, the RNA genome is 7420 nucleotides (nt) in length and encodes a single polyprotein of 2193 amino acids (aa). The open reading frame extends from position 740 to position 7318 of the genome. Sequence comparisons to other enteroviruses reveal a strong overall amino acid identity to echovirus types 11 and 12 (in each case 76%). The proteolytic cleavage sites of the three major capsid proteins were determined after purification by HPLC and protein sequencing. A full-length clone coding for an infectious RNA transcript was constructed, and recombinant echovirus 9 particles could be isolated from the supernatant of transfected cell culture. It is shown that the recombinant virus, like the original prototype, is non-pathogenic for newborn mice and does not multiply in skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Translation extracts were prepared from various strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The translation of mRNA molecules in these extracts were cooperatively enhanced by the presence of 5'-terminal cap structures and 3'-terminal poly(A) sequences. These cooperative effects could not be observed in other translation systems such as those prepared from rabbit reticulocytes, wheat germ, and human HeLa cells. Because the yeast translation system mimicked the effects of the cap structure and poly(A) tail on translational efficiency seen in vivo, this system was used to study cap-dependent and cap-independent translation of viral and cellular mRNA molecules. Both the 5' noncoding regions of hepatitis C virus and those of coxsackievirus B1 conferred cap-independent translation to a reporter coding region during translation in the yeast extracts; thus, the yeast translational apparatus is capable of initiating cap-independent translation. Although the translation of most yeast mRNAs was cap dependent, the unusually long 5' noncoding regions of mRNAs encoding cellular transcription factors TFIID and HAP4 were shown to mediate cap-independent translation in these extracts. Furthermore, both TFIID and HAP4 5' noncoding regions mediated translation of a second cistron when placed into the intercistronic spacer region of a dicistronic mRNA, indicating that these leader sequences can initiate translation by an internal ribosome binding mechanism in this in vitro translation system. This finding raises the possibility that an internal translation initiation mechanism exists in yeast cells for regulated translation of endogenous mRNAs.

Abstract
Initiation of poliovirus translation is mediated by a large, structured segment of the 5' nontranslated region known as the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and normally occurs 155 nucleotides (nt) downstream of the IRES at AUG743 (the AUG at nucleotide 743). Functional AUG codons introduced at nt 611 or 614 reduced initiation at AUG743 by 10 to 40% in vitro but had no effect on virus phenotype. To investigate the role of the nt 586-743 spacer in greater detail, four intervening termination codons were removed, and an additional AUG triplet at nt 683 was introduced by nucleotide substitution. Initiation at AUG743 was reduced by only 50 to 80%, depending on the number of upstream initiation codons. Initiation at AUG743 was also reduced following insertion of a stable hairpin at nt 630, but the reduction was modest in an ascites carcinoma cell extract. Initiation was more frequent at AUG743 than at AUG683 if mRNAs contained either an upstream initiation codon or the stable hairpin. These results suggested that not all initiation events at AUG743 can be accounted for by a scanning-dependent mechanism. Translation of bicistronic mRNAs in which the intercistronic spacer contained nt 630 to 742 of the poliovirus 5' nontranslated region indicated that these residues are not able to act as an entry point for ribosomes independently of the IRES. Insertion of increasingly longer sequences immediately downstream of the stable hairpin progressively reduced initiation at AUG743 without affecting initiation at AUG683. These results are discussed in terms of a model for initiation of poliovirus translation in which a complex RNA superstructure upstream of nt 586 promotes ribosome binding at an entry point determined by specific downstream cis-acting elements.

Abstract
Initiation of translation of poliovirus RNA by ribosomal entry into an internal segment of the 742-nucleotide (nt)-long 5' nontranslated region involves trans-acting factors, including p57, a 57-kDa polypeptide which has been identified as the pyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB). A UV cross-linking assay was used to compare the RNA-binding properties of the p57 present in various mammalian cytoplasmic extracts with those of purified murine p57 and recombinant human PTB. Three noncontiguous p57-binding sites were located within the poliovirus 5' nontranslated region, between nt 70 and 288, and 443 and 539 (domain V), and 630 and 730. With the same assay, a novel 34-kDa polypeptide was identified that bound nt 1 to 629 specifically. A single A-->G substitution of nt 480 which attenuates poliovirus did not alter UV cross-linking of p57 to domain V. Although UV cross-linking of p57 to the internal ribosome entry site was specifically reduced by competition with poly(U) but not by competition with poly(C), poly(G), and poly(A) homoribopolymers, the presence of a polyuridine tract was not a sufficient determinant for binding of RNA to the p57 present in cytoplasmic extracts, nor was the polypyrimidine tract downstream of domain V necessary for binding to this site.

Abstract
Mutants of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) with altered biological properties can be selected during the course of persistent infection of BHK-21 cells with FMDV C-S8c1 (J. C. de la Torre, E. Martínez-Salas, J. Díez, A. Villaverde, F. Gebauer, E. Rocha, M. Dávila, and E. Domingo, J. Virol. 62:2050-2058, 1988). Two nucleotide substitutions, U to C at position -376 and A to G at position -15, (counting as +1 the A of the first functional AUG), were fixed within the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of R100, the virus rescued after 100 passages of the carrier BHK-21 cells. IRES-directed cap-independent protein synthesis was quantitated by using bicistronic constructs of the form chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene-IRES-luciferase gene. The IRES from R100 was 1.5- to 5-fold more active than that of C-S8c1 in directing cap-independent luciferase synthesis. This enhanced translational activity was observed when the RNAs were transcribed either in the nucleus or in the cytoplasm by a weak or a strong promoter, respectively. C-S8c1 and R100 IRES elements were functional in both FMDV-sensitive and FMDV-resistant cells (including persistently infected R cells), indicating that factors mediating cap-independent protein synthesis are not limited in any of the analyzed cell lines. Constructs in which each of the two mutations in the R100 IRES were analyzed separately indicate that the transition at position -376 is responsible for the enhanced activity of the R100 IRES. By estimating the effect that an increase in the initial translation efficiency may have on subsequent RNA replication steps, we suggest that the modifications in the IRES elements can account for the previously described hypervirulence of FMDV R100 for BHK-21 cells. The results show that a single point mutation in an IRES element of a picornavirus can cause an increase in translation efficiency.

Abstract
Within the conserved 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the pestivirus genome three highly variable regions were identified. Preceding the polyprotein start codon, multiple cryptic AUG codons and several small open reading frames are characteristic for all the five pestiviruses. Inspection of the context of AUGs revealed that the polyprotein initiation AUG of pestivirus has a weak context for efficient translation initiation. The most favorable context was found in two of the cryptic AUGs. Two oligopyrimidine-rich tracts upstream to the conserved either cryptic or authentic AUG in the 5'-UTR of pestivirus were identified and 83.3% of their nucleotide sequences are complementary to the consensus sequence at the 3' terminus of eucaryotic 18S rRNA. A secondary structure model for the 5'-UTR of pestivirus was predicted. Nucleotide sequence comparison among five pestiviruses led to the identification of a variable region and a conserved region in the 3'-UTR. A deletion of 41 nucleotides was found within the variable region in Osloss. A secondary structure model for the 3'-UTR was also predicted. The structural similarity of the 5'-UTR between pestiviruses and picornaviruses and hepatitis C viruses was demonstrated and the possible implications of features of the 5' and 3'-UTR of pestiviruses are discussed.

Abstract
A combination of comparative sequence analysis and thermodynamic methods reveals the conservation of tertiary structure elements in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of human enteroviruses and rhinoviruses. The predicted common structural elements occur in the 3' end of a segment that is critical for internal ribosome binding, termed "ribosome landing pad" (RLP), of polioviruses. Base pairings between highly conserved 17-nucleotide (nt) and 21-nt sequences in the 5' UTR of human enteroviruses and rhinoviruses constitute a predicted pseudoknot that is significantly more stable than those that can be formed from a large set of randomly shuffled sequences. A conserved single-stranded polypyrimidine tract is located between two conserved tertiary elements. R. Nicholson, J. Pelletier, S.-Y. Le, and N. Sonenberg (1991, J. Virol. 65, 5886-5894) demonstrated that the point mutations of 3-nt UUU out of an essential 4-nt pyrimidine stretch sequence UUUC abolished translation. Structural analysis of the mutant sequence indicates that small point mutations within the short polypyrimidine sequence would destroy the tertiary interaction in the predicted, highly ordered structure. The proposed common tertiary structure can offer experimentalists a model upon which to extend the interpretations for currently available data. Based on these structural features possible base-pairing models between human enteroviruses and 18 S rRNA and between human rhinoviruses and 18 S rRNA are proposed. The proposed common structure implicates a biological function for these sequences in translational initiation.

Abstract
The mechanism of initiation of translation on hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was investigated in vitro. HCV RNA was transcribed from the cDNA that corresponded to nucleotide positions 9 to 1772 of the genome by using phage T7 RNA polymerase. Both capped and uncapped RNAs thus transcribed were active as mRNAs in a cell-free protein synthesis system with lysates prepared from HeLa S3 cells or rabbit reticulocytes, and the translation products were detected by anti-gp35 antibodies. The data indicate that protein synthesis starts at the fourth AUG, which was the initiator AUG at position 333 of the HCV RNA used in this study. Efficiency of translation of the capped methylated RNA appeared to be similar to that of the capped unmethylated RNA. However, a capped methylated RNA showed a much higher activity as mRNA than did the capped unmethylated RNA in rabbit reticulocyte lysates when the RNA lacked a nucleotide sequence upstream of position 267. The results strongly suggest that HCV RNA carries an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Artificial mono- and dicistronic mRNAs were prepared and used to identify the region that carried the IRES. The results indicate that the sequence between nucleotide positions 101 and 332 in the 5' untranslated region of HCV RNA plays an important role in efficient translation. Our data suggest that the IRES resides in this region of the RNA. Furthermore, an IRES in the group II HCV RNA was found to be more efficient than that in the group I HCV RNA.
