Translation of CUG- but not AUG-initiated forms of human fibroblast growth factor 2 is activated in transformed and stressed cells.
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Four isoforms of the human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), with different intracellular localizations and distinct effects on cell phenotype, result from alternative initiations of translation at three CUG and one AUG start codons. We showed here by Western immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation that the CUG-initiated forms of FGF-2 were synthesized in transformed cells, whereas "normal" cells almost...
