Abstract excerpt
GCN4 mRNA is translated by a reinitiation mechanism involving four short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in its leader sequence. Decreasing the activity of eukaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) by phosphorylation inhibits general translation in yeast but stimulates GCN4 expression by allowing ribosomes to scan past the uORFs and reinitiate at GCN4 instead. GCD10 was first identified genetically as a...
