ZIKV genome circularization inhibits translation initiation. Toeprinting analysis of 48S complex assembly on WT capped ZIKVmini RNA and (A) ΔCS mutants, (B) ΔUAR mutants, (C) in the presence of scrambled (SCR) or anti-sense (ASO) RNA oligos and (D) upstream near-cognate codon mutants highlighted in red in the schematic on the left. Selected codons are labelled on the left of each gel and toeprints caused by 48S complex assembly are marked with a closed arrowhead on the right. Open arrowheads mark reverse transcriptase stops caused by hybridization of the 5′ and 3′ cyclization elements. FL, full-length. See also Supplementary Figure S3.
