Abstract excerpt
Iron regulates synthesis of the iron storage protein ferritin at the translational level through interaction between a stem-loop structure, the iron-responsive element (IRE), located in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of ferritin mRNAs, and a protein, the iron regulatory protein (IRP). The role of IRE secondary structure in translational regulation of ferritin synthesis was explored by introducing ferritin...
