Abstract excerpt
The Neurospora crassa arg-2 upstream open reading frame (uORF) plays a role in negative arginine-specific translational regulation. Primer extension inhibition analyses of arg-2 uORF-containing RNA translated in a cell-free system in which arginine-specific regulation was retained revealed "toeprints" corresponding to ribosomes positioned at the uORF initiation and termination codons and at the downstream...
