A putative implication 3'-terminal 18S rRNA segment in the cap-independent initiation of translation on plant ribosomes was studied. It was shown that 3'-terminal segment (nucleotides 1777-1811) of 18S rRNA including the last hairpin 45 was accessible for complementary interactions within 40S ribosomal subunits. Oligonucleotides complementary to this segment of rRNA, when added to wheat germ cell-free protein synthesizing system, specifically inhibited translation of uncapped reporter mRNA encoding β-glucuronidase. In the 5'-untranslated region (UTR), the reporter mRNA contained a leader sequence of potato virus Y (PVY) genomic RNA with fragments complementary to the region 1777-1811. A sequence corresponding to nucleotides 291-316 of PVY, which was complementary to most of the 3'-terminal 18S rRNA segment 1777-1808, was shown to enhance translational efficiency of the reporter mRNAs when placed into 5'-UTR. The obtained results suggest that complementary interactions between 5'-UTR of mRNA and 3'-terminal segment of 18S rRNA can take place during cap-independent translation initiation.
