67200157 | To overcome translati on suppression by structures, DEAD-box RNA helicases unwind RNA structures, promoting scanning through the 5′ TL.
Multiple transcription start sites may be used for the same gene generating alternative 5′ TLs with varied length and regulatory features. (See D)This is especially common in organisms with relatively compact genomes such as yeasts. In S. cerevisiae, alternative transcription start sites generate long alternative mRNA TLs with substantially lower translation efficiencies. Counterintuitively, upstream transcriptional induction of these genes actually silences their expression during meiosis by blocking translation. | 655 |
