Abstract excerpt
The cap structure and the poly(A) tail of eukaryotic mRNAs act synergistically to enhance translation. This effect is mediated by a direct interaction of eukaryotic initiation factor 4G and poly(A) binding protein (PABP), which brings about circularization of the mRNA. Of the two recently identified PABP-interacting proteins, one, Paip1, stimulates translation, and the other, Paip2, which competes with Paip1 for...
