Conversation so far:
the ribosome binding site interacts with which specific molecule in the ribosome
The Ribosome Binding Site base-pairs with an RNA molecule that forms part of the bacterial ribosome.
what molecule does the ribosome binding site interact with in eukaryotes
Mostly, ribosome binding sites refer to bacterial sequences, although internal ribosome entry sites have been described in mRNAs of eukaryotic cells or viruses that infect eukaryotes.
what do internal ribosome entry sites do
Internal Ribosome Entry Site are RNA structures that allow cap independent initiation of translation, and are able to initiate translation in the middle of a messenger RNA.
when were internal ribosome entry sites discovered
Internal ribosome entry site sequences were first discovered in 1988 in the poliovirus and encephalomyocarditis virus RNA genomes in the labs of Nahum Sonenberg and Eckard Wimmer, respectively.

Question: what do viruses use the structures for
