Reversion of 7-methylguanosine 5'-phosphate inhibition of mRNA translation by polysomal and soluble factors isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1987

A Parets Suler, and J Zueco, and D Gozalbo, and R Sentandreu

Protein fractions that overcome m7GMP inhibition of mRNA translation have been purified from the yeast S. cerevisiae. An active fraction isolated from polysomes contains two polypeptides of 220- and 190-kDa. The active fraction isolated from postribosomal supernatant contains a major polypeptide of 28-kDa and other species of 32-, 24-, 22- and 21-kDa, and sediments in sucrose gradients as a high molecular weight complex of about 200,000. This fraction restored yeast mRNA translation in reticulocyte lysates under conditions of yeast and globin mRNA competition; however, this effect was not observed with the 220- and 190-kDa polypeptides from polysomes. Nevertheless, translation of yeast mRNA was stimulated by a partially purified fraction containing a 28-kDa polypeptide from polysomes.

D011132	Polyribosomes	A multiribosomal structure representing a linear array of RIBOSOMES held together by messenger RNA; (RNA, MESSENGER); They represent the active complexes in cellular protein synthesis and are able to incorporate amino acids into polypeptides both in vivo and in vitro.

D012314	RNA Cap Analogs	Analogs of RNA cap compounds which do not have a positive charge. These compounds inhibit the initiation of translation of both capped and uncapped messenger RNA.	RNA Cap Analogues,Analogs, RNA Cap,Analogues, RNA Cap,Cap Analogs, RNA,Cap Analogues, RNA
D012315	RNA Caps	Nucleic acid structures found on the 5' end of eukaryotic cellular and viral messenger RNA and some heterogeneous nuclear RNAs. These structures, which are positively charged, protect the above specified RNAs at their termini against attack by phosphatases and other nucleases and promote mRNA function at the level of initiation of translation. Analogs of the RNA caps (RNA CAP ANALOGS), which lack the positive charge, inhibit the initiation of protein synthesis.	RNA Cap,5' Capped RNA,5' mRNA Cap Structure,Cap, RNA,Caps, RNA,RNA, 5' Capped
D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
