Abstract excerpt
The RNA-binding protein Scp160p is the yeast homolog of the conserved vigilin protein family. These proteins influence a variety of nuclear and cytoplasmic functions. One of Scp160p's reported roles is to increase translation elongation efficiency in a manner related to codon usage. Thus, it can affect translation speed and co-translational folding of nascent peptides. We used polyglutamine (polyQ) reporters to...
