The leader protease of foot-and-mouth disease virus, as well as cleaving itself from the nascent viral polyprotein, disables host cell protein synthesis by specific proteolysis of a cellular protein:… (More)
Cap-dependent binding of mRNA to the 40 S ribosomal subunit during translational initiation requires the association of eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G; formerly eIF-4 gamma and p220) with… (More)
Many picornaviruses cause a dramatic decrease in the translation of cellular mRNAs in the infected cell, without affecting the translation of their own RNA. Specific proteolysis of protein synthesis… (More)
Rhinovirus and enterovirus 2A proteinases stimulate translation initiation driven from the cognate internal ribosome entry segment (IRES) (S. J. Hambidge and P. Sarnow, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA… (More)
Chromosome 17 is a frequent target during breast-cancer formation and progression. It has been shown to be affected by allele losses at multiple sites, as well as by DNA amplification. Our aim was to… (More)
Rhinovirus 2A and foot-and-mouth disease virus Lb proteinases stimulate the translation of uncapped messages and those carrying the rhinovirus and enterovirus Internal Ribosome Entry Segments… (More)
Different crystal forms of the C23A mutant from the leader proteinase of foot-and-mouth disease virus were obtained by the hanging drop vapor diffusion technique, using MgCl2 and PEG 6000 as… (More)
