Popis: De novo viral protein synthesis following entry into host cells is essential for viral replication. As a consequence, viruses have evolved mechanisms to engage the host translational machinery while at the same time avoiding or counteracting host defenses that act to repress translation. Mammalian orthoreoviruses are dsRNA-containing viruses whose mRNAs were used as models for early investigations into the mechanisms that underpin the recognition and engagement of eukaryotic mRNAs by host cell ribosomes. However, there remain many unanswered questions and paradoxes regarding translation of reoviral mRNAs in the context of infection. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about reovirus translation, identifies key unanswered questions, and proposes possible pathways toward a better understanding of reovirus translation.
