part of viral process viral translation viral translational termination-reinitiation jl biological_process termination reinitiation involved in viral translation This term is intended to annotate gene products involved in the process of viral translational termination-reinitiation, not viral proteins produced by this translation process. VZ:858 2011-08-04T12:01:22Z A process which occurs as part of viral mRNA translation which allows expression of a downstream open reading frame (ORF) in a dicistronic mRNA. In this process, ribosomes translate the upstream ORF but following termination, a proportion of 40S subunits remain tethered to the mRNA and go on to re-initiate translation at the start codon of the downstream ORF. viral translation involving termination re-initiation viral translation involving translational stop-start viral translation involving termination-reinitiation GO:0075525
