Abstract excerpt
Ded1 is an essential DEAD-box helicase in yeast that broadly stimulates translation initiation and is critical for messenger RNAs (mRNAs) with structured 5' untranslated regions (UTRs). We have evaluated the proposal that Ded1 stimulates translation primarily by preventing initiation at upstream open-reading-frames (uORFs) associated with stable secondary structures. By Ribo-seq analysis under experimental...
