| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) recruits factors involved in translation initiation complex via specific RNA folding structures in a cap-independent manner. Some animal and plant viruses are known to use this machinery for their protein production. In this study, we developed an assay system for investigating IRES activity in filamentous fungi and discovered that fungal viruses (mycoviruses) holding IRES elements are present, for the first time. By taking mutagenesis approach, important RNA sequences and potential structures were identified from 5’ untranslated region of genomic RNA of Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1, Hypoviridae) which is a representative of mycoviruses. Interestingly, the functional IRES needed a part of coding region of CHV1 p29, the most upstream open reading frame for multifunctional RNA silencing suppressor.
