Abstract excerpt
We have shown recently that a stable hairpin preceded by a short upstream open reading frame (uORF) promotes nonlinear ribosome migration or ribosome shunt on a synthetic mRNA leader (M. Hemmings-Mieszczak and T. Hohn, RNA 5:1149-1157, 1999). We have now used the model mRNA leader to study further the mechanism of shunting in vivo and in vitro. We show that a full cycle of translation of the uORF, including...
