Key result
Poliovirus mRNA lacks the 5'-terminal m7G(5')ppp(5')Np capping group, indicating it is not involved in poliovirus protein synthesis.

Poliovirus mRNA lacks m7G cap; leaves open alternative initiation mechanisms in viral translation.
Demonstrates that poliovirus mRNA lacks the typical 5' cap structure found in host cellular mRNA.
Nomoto et al. (1976) studied Poliovirus infection. Poliovirus infection vs. Uninfected HeLa cell RNA was evaluated on Presence of 5'-terminal m7G(5')ppp(5')Np capping group. Poliovirus mRNA lacks the 5'-terminal m7G(5')ppp(5')Np capping group, indicating it is not involved in poliovirus protein synthesis.
