Internal ribosome entry segment-mediated initiation of c-Myc protein synthesis following genotoxic stress
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Initiation of translation of the proto-oncogene c-myc can occur by either the cap-dependent scanning mechanism or by internal ribosome entry. The latter mechanism requires a complex RNA structural element that is located in the 5' untranslated region of c-myc, termed an internal ribosome entry segment (IRES). Recent work has shown that IRESs are used to maintain protein expression under conditions when...
