Translation of cIAP2 mRNA Is Mediated Exclusively by a Stress-Modulated Ribosome Shunt
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
During cellular stress, translation persists or increases for a number of stress-responsive proteins, including cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 2 (cIAP2). The cIAP2 transcript includes a very long (2.78-kb) 5' untranslated region (UTR) with an unusually high number of upstream AUGs (uAUGs), i.e., 64, and a stable predicted secondary structure (DeltaG congruent with -620 kcal/mol) that should completely block...
