Ran GTPase cycle: One mechanism — two functions
The Ras-related GTPase Ran functions in nucleocytoplasmic transport by regulating interactions of transport receptors with transport cargo. Three recent studies suggest that Ran uses exactly the same mechanism to regulate spindle assembly during mitosis.
متن کاملThe fidelity of translation initiation: reciprocal activities of eIF1, IF3 and YciH.
Eukaryotic initiation factor eIF1 and the functional C-terminal domain of prokaryotic initiation factor IF3 maintain the fidelity of initiation codon selection in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, respectively, and bind to the same regions of small ribosomal subunits, between the platform and initiator tRNA. Here we report that these nonhomologous factors can bind to the same regions of heterologous ...
متن کاملLexical and Pragmatic Metonymy Processing: Two Domains vs. One Mechanism
We investigate the compositional properties of metonymy through self-paced reading (SPR) and ERP. We examine lexical metonymy (Novel producer-for-product: All freshmen read/meet Wickstrom) and circumstantial/pragmatic metonymy (A waitress says to another: “Table-13/That couple asked for more wine”). We test the hypothesis that both metonymic types are instantiated by the same interpretive mecha...
متن کاملHuman DDX3 functions in translation and interacts with the translation initiation factor eIF3
The conserved RNA helicase DDX3 is of major medical importance due to its involvement in numerous cancers, human hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV. Although DDX3 has been reported to have a wide variety of cellular functions, its precise role remains obscure. Here, we raised a new antibody to DDX3 and used it to show that DDX3 is evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm at steady state. Consis...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Movements of IF3 and tRNA during Bacterial Translation Initiation
In bacterial translational initiation, three initiation factors (IFs 1-3) enable the selection of initiator tRNA and the start codon in the P site of the 30S ribosomal subunit. Here, we report 11 single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) reconstructions of the complex of bacterial 30S subunit with initiator tRNA, mRNA, and IFs 1-3, representing different steps along the initiation pathw...
