| Name | IRES-dependent viral translational initiation |
| ID | GO_0075522 |
| collection_id | Biological process |
| Description | Process by which viral mRNA translation is initiated, where a domain in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral mRNA called an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) binds the host 43S preinitiation complex, circumventing regular cap-dependent translation initiation. |
