TLDR

An in vivo system is developed to test the effect of mutations in eIF4E in Ma5TE-driven cap- independent translation, showing that conserved amino acids in a positively charged RNA-binding motif around amino acid position 228 are essential for cap-independent translation controlled by Ma5 TE, and thus for the multiplication of MNSV.
