Preferred Label : Ribosome Shunting;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : Shunting, Ribosome; Ribosomal Shunting; Shunting, Ribosomal;
Origin ID : D000094409;
UMLS CUI : C5690804;
