  2. ncbi Translation initiation: insect virus RNAs rewrite the rule book
    J E McCarthy
    Department of Biomolecular Sciences, UMIST, Manchester M60 1QD, UK
    Curr Biol 10:R715-7. 2000
    ..This seems to involve a special type of mRNA pseudoknot structure which allows bypassing of the usual P-site-dependent mechanism...
  3. ncbi Post-termination ribosome interactions with the 5'UTR modulate yeast mRNA stability
    C Vilela
    Post transcriptional Control Group, Department of Biomolecular Sciences, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology UMIST, PO Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD, UK
    EMBO J 18:3139-52. 1999
    ..Our data explain the destabilizing properties of YAP2-type uORFs and also support a more general model for the mode of action of other known uORFs, such as those in the GCN4 mRNA...
  4. ncbi Translational repression by human 4E-BP1 in yeast specifically requires human eIF4E as target
    J M Hughes
    Posttranscriptional Control Group, Department of Biomolecular Sciences, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, P O Box 88, Manchester M60 1QD, United Kingdom
    J Biol Chem 274:3261-4. 1999
    ..Thus yeast eIF4E lacks structural features required for binding to human 4E-BP1. These results therefore demonstrate that the features of eIF4E required for binding to 4E-BP1 are distinct from those required for cap-complex assembly...
  5. ncbi A second eIF4E protein in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has distinct eIF4G-binding properties
    M Ptushkina
    Posttranscriptional Control Group, Department of Biomolecular Sciences, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, Manchester M60 1QD, UK
    Nucleic Acids Res 29:4561-9. 2001

    Nucleic Acids Res 26:1150-9. 1998
    ..This route of control of non-aberrant mRNA decay influences the stress response in yeast. It is also potentially relevant to expression of the sizable number of eukaryotic mRNAs that are now recognized to contain uORFs...

    EMBO J 19:4372-82. 2000
    ..These data on interactions at the interface between translation and mRNA decay suggest how events at the 5' cap and 3' poly(A) tail might be coupled...

    EMBO J 17:4798-808. 1998
    ..The results presented provide a basis for understanding how cycling of eIF4E and eIF4G occurs in yeast translation and explains how p20 can act as a fine, but not as a coarse, regulator of protein synthesis...
  9. ncbi A quantitative molecular model for modulation of mammalian translation by the eIF4E-binding protein 1
    M M Karim
