Abstract excerpt
Translation initiation in extracts from Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves the concerted action of the cap-binding protein eIF4E and the poly(A) tail-binding protein Pab1p. These two proteins bind to translation initiation factor eIF4G and are needed for the translation of capped or polyadenylated mRNA, respectively. Together, these proteins synergistically activate the translation of a capped and polyadenylated...
