Efficient translation of the mRNA encoding the 65-kDa regulatory subunit (PR65 alpha) of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is prevented by an out of frame upstream AUG and a stable stem-loop structure (delta G = -55.9 kcal/mol) in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR). Deletion of the 5'-UTR allows efficient translation of the PR65 alpha message in vitro and overexpression in COS-1 cells. Insertion of the 5'-UTR into the beta-galactosidase leader sequence dramatically inhibits translation of the beta-galactosidase message in vitro and in vivo, confirming that this sequence functions as a potent translation regulatory sequence. Cells transfected or microinjected with a PR65 alpha expression vector lacking the 5'-UTR, express high levels of PR65 alpha, accumulating in both nucleus and cytoplasm. PR65 alpha overexpressing rat embryo fibroblasts (REF-52 cells) become multinucleated. These data and previous results (Mayer-Jaekel, R. E., Ohkura, H., Gomes, R., Sunkel, C. E., Baumgartner, S., Hemmings, B. A., and Glover, D. M. (1993) Cell 72, 621-633) suggest that PP2A participates in the regulation of both mitosis and cytokinesis.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

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.
