Abstract excerpt
Translation of GCN4 mRNA is activated when yeast cells are grown under conditions of amino acid limitation. In this study, we established the conditions through which translation of the GCN4 mRNA could be activated in a homologous in vitro system. This activation paralleled the in vivo situation: it required the small open reading frames located in the 5' untranslated region of the GCN4 mRNA, and it was coupled...
