Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of the transcriptional activator GCN4 increases at the translational level in response to starvation for an amino acid. The products of multiple GCD genes are required for efficient repression of GCN4 mRNA translation under nonstarvation conditions. The majority of the known GCD genes encode subunits of the general translation initiation factor eIF-2 or eIF-2B. To identify...
