Internal translation initiation and eIF4F/ATP-independent scanning of mRNA by eukaryotic ribosomal particles
The recombinant mRNAs with 5'-untranslated region, called omega leader, of tobacco mosaic virus RNA are known to be well translated in eukaryotic cell-free systems, even if deprived of cap structure. Using the method of primer extension inhibition (toe-printing), the ribosomal particles were shown to initiate translation at uncapped omega leader when its 5'-end was blocked by a stable RNA-DNA d...
متن کاملPhysical evidence supporting a ribosomal shunting mechanism of translation initiation for BACE1 mRNA
In Alzheimer disease, elevated levels of the BACE1 enzyme are correlated with increased production of amyloid peptides and disease pathology. The increase in BACE1 levels is post-transcriptional and may involve altered translation efficiency. Earlier studies have indicated that translation of BACE1 mRNA is cap-dependent. As ribosomal subunits move from the cap-structure to the initiation codon,...
متن کاملA novel mechanism of eukaryotic translation initiation that is neither m7G-cap-, nor IRES-dependent
Resistance of translation of some eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to inactivation of the cap-binding factor eIF4E under unfavorable conditions is well documented. To date, it is the mechanism of internal ribosome entry that is predominantly thought to underlay this stress tolerance. However, many cellular mRNAs that had been considered to contain internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) failed t...

متن کاملCap-dependent eukaryotic initiation factor-mRNA interactions probed by cross-linking.
Cap-dependent ribosome recruitment to eukaryotic mRNAs during translation initiation is stimulated by the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4F complex and eIF4B. eIF4F is a heterotrimeric complex composed of three subunits: eIF4E, a 7-methyl guanosine cap binding protein; eIF4A, a DEAD-box RNA helicase; and eIF4G. The interactions of eIF4E, eIF4A, and eIF4B with mRNA have previously been monit...
