ITAF description (long):
Required for poliovirus IRES activity (Blyn et al. 1996 and 1997) and replication (Toyoda et al., 2007). Its amount is not limiting in rabbit reticulocyte lysates (RRL) (Hunt and Jackson 1999).

Method used to demonstrate ITAF effect:

In vitro system used to demonstrate ITAF effect:

Remarks:
Cytosines in regions 93-95 and 98-100 are required for viral replication while not translation although they
are present in the cloverleaf structure in region 1-89 (Toyoda et al., 2007).

PCBP2 also binds to domain IV of PV IRES and is required for ts activity (Blyn et al., 1996, 1997; Gamarnik et
al., 1997; Walter et al., 2002). Blyn et al. (1997) reported that PCBP1 cannot functionally replace PCBP2 in
HeLa cells in respect to translation initiation. This is in agreement with Walter et al. (2002) who reported
that PCBP1 can replace PCBP2 only in respect to replication.
