Translation initiation by factor-independent binding of eukaryotic ribosomes to internal ribosomal entry sites
10 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Two exceptional mechanisms of eukaryotic translation initiation have recently been identified that differ fundamentally from the canonical factor-mediated, end-dependent mechanism of ribosomal attachment to mRNA. Instead, ribosomal 40S subunits bind in a factor-independent manner to the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) in an mRNA. These two mechanisms are exemplified by initiation on the unrelated...
