Unidirectional constant rate motion of the ribosomal scanning particle during eukaryotic translation initiation
According to the model of translation initiation in eukaryotes, the 40S ribosomal subunit binds to capped 5'-end of mRNA and subsequently migrates along 5'-UTR in searching for initiation codon. However, it remains unclear whether the migration is the result of a random one-dimensional diffusion, or it is an energy-driven unidirectional movement. To address this issue, the method of continuous ...
متن کاملMechanism of ribosomal subunit joining during eukaryotic translation initiation.
Decades of research have yielded significant insight into the mechanism by which a cell translates an mRNA into the encoded protein. However many of the molecular details of the process remain a mystery. Translation initiation is an important control point in gene expression, and misregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer. A better understanding of the mechanism of translation initiation...
متن کاملInternal 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 کاملRegulation of GTP hydrolysis prior to ribosomal AUG selection during eukaryotic translation initiation.
Genetic studies in yeast have shown that the translation initiation factor eIF5 plays an important role in the selection of the AUG start codon. In order to ensure translation fidelity, the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S preinitiation complex (40S.Met-tRNA(i).eIF2.GTP), promoted by eIF5, must occur only when the complex has selected the AUG start codon. However, the mechanism that prevents ...
متن کاملCanonical eukaryotic initiation factors determine initiation of translation by internal ribosomal entry.
Translation of picornavirus RNA is initiated after ribosomal binding to an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) within the 5' untranslated region. We have reconstituted IRES-mediated initiation on encephalomyocarditis virus RNA from purified components and used primer extension analysis to confirm the fidelity of 48S preinitiation complex formation. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2), eIF3, ...
