Abstract excerpt
TOP mRNAs are vertebrate transcripts which contain a 5'terminal oligopyrimidine tract (5'TOP), encode for ribosomal proteins and elongation factors 1alpha and 2, and are candidates for growth-dependent translational control mediated through their 5'TOP. In the present study we show that elongation factor 2 (EF2) mRNA is translationally regulated in a growth-dependent manner in cells of hematopoietic origin, but...
