A Computational and Biochemical Study of -1 Ribosomal Frameshifting in Human mRNAs
2021-04-24
Abstract excerpt
−1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (−1 PRF) is a translational recoding mechanism used by many viral and cellular mRNAs. −1 PRF occurs at a heptanucleotide slippery sequence and is stimulated by a downstream RNA structure, most often in the form of a pseudoknot. The utilization of −1 PRF to produce proteins encoded by the −1 reading frame is wide-spread in RNA viruses, but relatively rare in cellular mRNAs. In...
