{"doi":"10.1128/jvi.71.11.8330-8339.1997","title":"Functional involvement of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein in translation initiation complexes with the internal ribosome entry site of foot-and-mouth disease virus","abstract":"<jats:p>The synthesis of picornavirus polyproteins is initiated cap independently far downstream from the 5' end of the viral RNA at the internal ribosome entry site (IRES). The cellular polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) binds to the IRES of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). In this study, we demonstrate that PTB is a component of 48S and 80S ribosomal initiation complexes formed with FMDV IRES RNA. The incorporation of PTB into these initiation complexes is dependent on the entry of the IRES RNA, since PTB and IRES RNA can be enriched in parallel either in 48S or 80S ribosomal complexes by stage-specific inhibitors of translation initiation. The formation of the ribosomal initiation complexes with the IRES occurs slowly, is temperature dependent, and correlates with the incorporation of PTB into these complexes. In a first step, PTB binds to the IRES, and then the small ribosomal subunit encounters this PTB-IRES complex. Mutations in the major PTB-binding site interfere simultaneously with the formation of initiation complexes, translation efficiency, and PTB cross-linking. PTB stimulates translation directed by the FMDV IRES in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate depleted of internal PTB, and the efficiency of translation can be restored to the original level by the addition of PTB. These results indicate that PTB plays an important role in the formation of initiation complexes with FMDV IRES RNA and in stimulation of internal translation initiation with this picornavirus.</jats:p>","journal":"Journal of Virology","year":1997,"id":21566,"datarank":4.209369699374058,"base_score":4.532599493153256,"endowment":4.532599493153256,"self_citation_contribution":0.6798899239729885,"citation_network_contribution":3.52947977540107,"self_endowment_contribution":0.6798899239729885,"citer_contribution":3.52947977540107,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":92,"citer_count":76,"citers_with_citation_signal":72,"citers_with_endowment":72,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":138370,"name":"A Petersen","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":138371,"name":"K Meyer","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":138372,"name":"E Beck","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":138369,"name":"M Niepmann","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"base_score":4.532599493153256,"endowment":4.532599493153256,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"9343186","pmcid":"PMC192292","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W1700333318","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":4.8293,"citation_percentile":0.95488977,"influential_citations":6,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":4},{"year":2013,"count":1},{"year":2014,"count":4},{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":2},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":1}],"oa_status":"bronze","license":"https://journals.asm.org/non-commercial-tdm-license","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://jvi.asm.org/content/jvi/71/11/8330.full.pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://jvi.asm.org/content/jvi/71/11/8330.full.pdf","host_type":"BRONZE"},{"url":"https://jvi.asm.org/content/jvi/71/11/8330.full.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://journals.asm.org/doi/pdf/10.1128/jvi.71.11.8330-8339.1997","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.71.11.8330-8339.1997","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9343186","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.989.2637","host_type":""},{"url":"http://europepmc.org/pmc/articles/PMC192292","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/192292","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Viral Infections and Immunology Research","Animal Disease Management and Epidemiology","RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms","Biology","Medicine","Animals","Aphthovirus","Binding Sites","Cell-Free System","Gene Expression Regulation, Viral","Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational","Polypyrimidine Tract-Binding Protein","RNA, Viral","RNA-Binding Proteins","Rabbits","Regulatory Sequences, Nucleic Acid","Ribonucleoproteins","Ribosomes"],"mesh_terms":["Animals","Binding Sites","Cell-Free System","Aphthovirus","Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational","Rabbits","Regulatory Sequences, Nucleic Acid","Ribonucleoproteins","Ribosomes","RNA, Viral","Gene Expression Regulation, Viral","RNA-Binding Proteins","Polypyrimidine Tract-Binding Protein"],"keywords":["Internal ribosome entry site","Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein","Picornavirus","Biology","Initiation factor","Eukaryotic translation","Eukaryotic initiation factor","Translation (biology)","Ribosome","Foot-and-mouth disease virus","EIF4E","Eukaryotic Ribosome","RNA","Ribosomal binding site","Cell biology","Virology","Molecular biology","RNA-binding protein","Messenger RNA","Virus","Genetics","Gene"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-06-06T16:15:13.452681Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
