Global and Specific Translational Control by Rapamycin in T Cells Uncovered by Microarrays and Proteomics

Abstract excerpt

Rapamycin has been shown to affect translation. We have utilized two complementary approaches to identify genes that are predominantly affected by rapamycin in Jurkat T cells. One was to compare levels of polysome-bound and total RNA using oligonucleotide microarrays complementary to 6,300 human genes. Another was to determine protein synthesis levels using two-dimensional PAGE. Analysis of expression changes at...
