MeSH Heading: Ribosome Shunting
Tree Number(s): G02.111.660.871.650.500; G03.734.871.650.500; G05.297.670.500; G05.308.385.500
Unique ID: D000094409
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000094409
Scope Note: Viral mechanisms of translational programming in which ribosomes reach the start codon bypassing or shunting over large segments of the 5′ UTR of VIRAL RNA. Ribosome shunting allows host translational machinery to engage polycistronic transcripts similar to RIBOSOMAL FRAMESHIFTING, and use of INTERNAL RIBOSOME ENTRY SITES.
Entry Term(s): Ribosomal Shunting; Shunting, Ribosome
