ribosomal frameshifting involved in viral translation
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A process which occurs during viral translation, which involves a translational recoding mechanism called programmed ribosomal frameshifting. This causes the ribosome to alter its reading of the mRNA to an a different open reading frame to produce alternate viral proteins.

Comment
This term is intended to annotate gene products involved in the process of viral translational frameshifting, not viral proteins produced by this translation process.
