Dysregulation of mRNA translation is a frequent feature of neoplasia. Many oncogenes and tumour suppressors affect the translation machinery, making aberrant translation a …
Protein synthesis is one of the most energy consuming processes in the cell. The mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that …

In eukaryotes, the translation initiation codon is generally identified by the scanning mechanism, wherein every triplet in the messenger RNA leader is inspected for …
Stress granules are condensates of non-translating mRNAs and proteins involved in the stress response and neurodegenerative diseases. Stress granules form in part through …

Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are RNA–protein assemblies that are involved in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism and are linked to memory, development, and disease …
The large serine/threonine protein kinase mTOR regulates cellular and organismal homeostasis by coordinating anabolic and catabolic processes with nutrient, energy, and …
▪ Abstract Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F (eIF4F) is a protein complex that mediates recruitment of ribosomes to mRNA. This event is the rate-limiting step for translation under …

The correct translation of mRNA depends critically on the ability to initiate at the right AUG codon. For most mRNAs in eukaryotic cells, this is accomplished by the scanning …
Initiation of translation of most eukaryotic mRNAs commences with 5 end–dependent recruitment of 40S ribosomal subunits to the mRNA. The 40S subunit carrying the initiator …
