Unanticipated Antigens: Translation Initiation at CUG with Leucine
Major histocompatibility class I molecules display tens of thousands of peptides on the cell surface for immune surveillance by T cells. The peptide repertoire represents virtually all cellular translation products, and can thus reveal a foreign presence inside the cell. These peptides are derived from not only conventional but also cryptic translational reading frames, including some without c...
متن کاملEfficient initiation of mammalian mRNA translation at a CUG codon.
Nucleotide substitutions were made at the initiation codon of an influenza virus NS cDNA clone in a vector carrying the bacteriophage T7 promoter. When capped mRNA transcripts of these constructs were translated in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate, a change in the initiation codon from...AUAAUGG...to...AUACUGG...reduced the in vitro translational efficiency by only 50-60%, and resulted in only a ...
متن کاملWhere to Start? Alternate Protein Translation Mechanism Creates Unanticipated Antigens
Chemical reactions lie at the heart of many biological processes, from photosynthesis and respiration to cell signaling and drug metabolism. Thanks to an atmosphere rich in oxygen, many organisms use oxygen to carry out these life processes. But oxygen metabolism produces highly toxic by-products called reactive oxygen species. When oxidation outpaces detoxifying reactions, oxidative stress occ...
متن کاملPotential secondary structure at translation-initiation sites.
Since translational start codons also occur internally, more-complex features within mRNA must determine initiation. We compare the potential secondary structure of 123 prokaryotic mRNA start regions to that of regions coding for internal methionines. The latter display an unexpectedly-uniform, almost-periodic pattern of pairing potential. In contrast, sequences 5' to start codons have little s...
متن کاملLeucine regulates translation initiation of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle after exercise.
High-performance physical activity and postexercise recovery lead to significant changes in amino acid and protein metabolism in skeletal muscle. Central to these changes is an increase in the metabolism of the BCAA leucine. During exercise, muscle protein synthesis decreases together with a net increase in protein degradation and stimulation of BCAA oxidation. The decrease in protein synthesis...
