Shut-Down of Translation, a Global Neuronal Stress Response:Mechanisms and Pathological Relevance

Abstract excerpt

Shut-down of translation is a global stress response required to block synthesis of proteins that cannot be correctly folded and thereby reduce the work load of the folding machinery, a primary target of the pathological process triggered by severe forms of stress. The short-term control of protein synthesis involves alterations in the activity of initiation factors mediated through changes in their...
