Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a 3.0 kb polyadenylated RNA (T3.0) in the opposite strand of the open reading frame 50 (RTA) gene. The T3.0 was mis-annotated as a noncoding RNA but found to be associated with ribosomes and carries at least four translatable sORFs. Two of them, namely vSP-1 and vSP-2, have been characterized. vSP-1 enhances RTA expression by blocking RTA self-ubiquitylation and proteasome-associated degradation. T3.0 RNA is a polycistronic RNA. Furthermore, polycistronic translation has been observed in most of the cases of small peptides (microPeptides) translated from previously annotated noncoding RNAs in eukaryotes. In an effort to elucidate the mechanism underlying polycistronic sORF translation in eukaryotic cells, we found that T3.0 RNA translates vSP-1 and vSP-2 through a leaky scanning mechanism.
