Inhibition of Translational Initiation by Let-7 MicroRNA in Human Cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21-nucleotide-long RNA molecules regulating gene expression in multicellular eukaryotes. In metazoa, miRNAs act by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ u...
Rapamycin differentially inhibits S6Ks and 4E-BP1 to mediate cell-type-specific repression of mRNA translation
The mammalian translational initiation machinery is a tightly controlled system that is composed of eukaryotic initiation factors, and which controls the recruitment of ribosome...
S6K1- and ßTRCP-Mediated Degradation of PDCD4 Promotes Protein Translation and Cell Growth
The tumor suppressor programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) inhibits the translation initiation factor eIF4A, an RNA helicase that catalyzes the unwinding of secondary structur...
Stable Ribosome Binding to the Endoplasmic Reticulum Enables Compartment-specific Regulation of mRNA Translation
In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis is compartmentalized; mRNAs encoding secretory/membrane proteins are translated on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound ribosomes, whereas mRN...
Dissecting eukaryotic translation and its control by ribosome density mapping
Translation of an mRNA is generally divided into three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. The relative rates of these steps determine both the number and position o...
