La autoantigen enhances translation of BiP mRNA
15 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Translational initiation of the human BiP mRNA is directed by an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) located in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). In order to understand the mechanism of the IRES-dependent translation of BiP mRNA, cellular proteins interacting with the BiP IRES were investigated. La autoantigen, which augments the translation of polioviral mRNA and hepatitis C viral mRNA, bound specifically to...
