Alternative Translation of Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 mRNA Occurs by Internal Entry of Ribosomes
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Alternative initiations of translation of the human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) mRNA, at three CUG start codons and one AUG start codon, result in the synthesis of four isoforms of FGF-2. This process has important consequences on the fate of FGF-2: the CUG-initiated products are nuclear and their constitutive expression is able to induce cell immortalization, whereas the AUG-initiated product, mostly...
