Alternative Translation of the Proto-oncogene c-mycby an Internal Ribosome Entry Site
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The human proto-oncogene c-myc encodes two proteins, c-Myc1 and c-Myc2, from two initiation codons, CUG and AUG, respectively. It is also transcribed from four alternative promoters (P0, P1, P2, and P3), giving rise to different RNA 5'-leader sequences, the long sizes of which suggest that they must be inefficiently translated by the classical ribosome scanning mechanism. Here we have examined the influence of...
