The BiP internal ribosome entry site (IRES) is an RNA element present in the 5' UTR of the mRNAofBiP protein and allows cap-independent translation. BiP protein expression has been found to be significantly enhanced by the heat shock response due to internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent translation. It is thought that this translational mechanism is essential for the survival of cells under stress.[1]
