Gemin5 promotes IRES interaction and translation control through its C-terminal region
5 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Gene expression control largely depends on ribonucleoprotein complexes regulating mRNA translation. Initiation of translation in mRNAs that overcome cap-dependent translation inhibition is often driven by internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements, whose activity is regulated by multifunctional RNA-binding factors. Here we show that Gemin5 interacts preferentially with a specific domain of a viral IRES...
