ABSTRACT

A cellular 57-kDa protein (p57) that binds specifically to the internal translation initiation site in the 5' untranslated region of foot-and-mouth disease virus RNA was detected in cell extracts of different mammalian species by UV cross-linking. The protein binds to two distinct sites of the translation control region which have as the only common sequence a UUUC motif. The first binding site consists of a conserved hairpin structure, whereas the second binding site contains an essential pyrimidine-rich region without obvious secondary structure. Competition experiments indicate that the complexes with the two binding sites were formed by a single p57 species. The protein binds also to the 5' untranslated region of other picornaviruses. Results from footprint analyses with foot-and-mouth disease RNA suggest the participation of additional cellular factors in the translation initiation complex.
