Download or read book Translational Control of Gene Expression written by Nahum Sonenberg and published by CSHL Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1034 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1996 publication of Translational Control, there has been fresh interest in protein synthesis and recognition of the key role of translation control mechanisms in regulating gene expression. This new monograph updates and expands the scope of the earlier book but it also takes a fresh look at the field. In a new format, the first eight chapters provide broad overviews, while each of the additional twenty-eight has a focus on a research topic of more specific interest. The result is a thoroughly up-to-date account of initiation, elongation, and termination of translation, control mechanisms in development in response to extracellular stimuli, and the effects on the translation machinery of virus infection and disease. This book is essential reading for students entering the field and an invaluable resource for investigators of gene expression and its control.

Download or read book Protein Translation written by Eric Jan and published by Biota Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein synthesis is a fundamental aspect of gene expression across kingdoms. The regulation of translation is important for many biological processes including cell fate determination, development, and growth and is especially crucial to maintain cellular homeostasis during cellular stress and virus infection. Misregulation of protein translation can contribute to diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this chapter, we highlight the basic understanding of eukaryotic translation and the major regulations that control biological events. We focus on signaling pathways that regulate overall protein synthesis and also mechanisms that control translation of specific mRNAs such as cis-acting elements within the 5' and 3 untranslated regions (UTR). Understanding these mechanisms provide insights into the fundamental gene regulations that may provide new targets for combating disease and virus infections.

Download or read book Control of protein synthesis in eukaryotes written by André Darveau and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Control of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells was studied by using two models: the c-myc oncogene and the translational transactivation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) mRNAs. These two models are examples of control of expression of specific genes at the translation level. It was shown that the presence of the 5$ sp prime$ non-coding regions of the human and murine c-myc oncogenes strongly inhibits the in vitro translation of their respective mRNAs. The presence of the 5$ sp prime$ non-coding region of the mouse c-myc gene is sufficient by itself to reduce the translational efficiencies of messages since, when it is placed at the 5$ sp prime$ end of coding sequences, it also reduces the translational level of these messages to similar levels observed with c-myc. Secondary structure at the level of the 5$ sp prime$ end non-coding region might be the origin of the observed inhibition since this has been shown to be a determinant in translational efficiency. There was however no correlation between the results obtained from in vitro translation systems and observations made in cells transfected with genes containing the inhibitory region at their 5$ sp prime$ end. The presence of the HIV mRNAs TAR sequence at the 5$ sp prime$ end of the hybrid CAT message also reduces the in vitro translational efficiency of this mRNA. No transactivational activity in the presence of the tat III protein could be observed in the in vitro translation systems that were used in these studies. However, the cross-linking of an 80 kDa polypeptide (most likely eIF-4B) to the mRNA cap structure was enhanced by the presence of the TAR region at the 5$ sp prime$ end of hybrid messages. Moreover, cross-linking of a novel set of proteins to the cap structure of hybrid mRNA with the TAR sequence at the 5$ sp prime$ end was detected in HeLa cells transfected with the tat III gene and expressing the transactivation activity in vivo. These results suggest that the c-myc oncogene and the" --

Download or read book Signaling Pathways for Translation written by Robert E. Rhoads and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in the present volume are by major contributors to our under standing of signaling pathways affecting protein synthesis. They focus pri marily on two extracellular anabolic signals, although others are included as well. Insulin is one of the best-studied extracellular regulators of protein syn thesis. Several of the known pathways for regulation of protein synthesis were elucidated using insulin-dependent systems. Regulation of protein synthesis by amino acids, by contrast, is an emerging field that has recently received a great deal of attention. The dual role of amino acids as substrates for protein syn thesis and regulators of the overall process has only recently been recognized. Since amino acids serve as precursors for proteins, one might expect that with holding an essential amino acid would inhibit the elongation phase. Surpris ingly, research has shown that it is the initiation phase of protein synthesis that is restricted during amino acid starvation. Understanding the mechanisms by which the biosynthesis of proteins is reg ulated is important for several reasons. Protein synthesis consumes a major portion of the cellular ATP that is generated. Therefore, small changes in protein synthesis can have great consequences for cellular energy metabolism. Translation is also a major site for control of gene expression, since messenger RNAs differ widely in translational efficiency, and changes to the protein syn thesis machinery can differentially affect recruitment of individual mRNAs.
Download or read book Protein Biosynthesis in Eukaryotes written by R. Perez-Bercoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: vi The word ppotein, coined one and a half century ago from the 1TpOTE:toa ("proteios" = of primary importance), underlines the "primary importance" ascribed to proteins from the time they were described as biochemical entities. But the unmatched compl~xity of the process involved in their biosynthesis was (understandably) overlooked. Indeed, protein biosynthesis was supposed to be nothing more than the reverse of protein degradation, and the same enzymes known to split a protein into its constituent amino acids were thought to be able, under adequate conditions, to reconstitute the peptide bond. This oversimplified view persisted for more than 50 years: It was just in 1940 that Borsook and Dubnoff examined the thermodynamical aspects of the process, and concluded that protein synthesis could not be the reverse of protein degradation, such an "uphill task being thermody namically impossible ••• • " The next quarter of a century witnessed the unravelling of the basic mechanisms of protein biosynthesis, a predictable aftermath of the Copernican revolution in biology which followed such dramatic de velopments as the discovery of the nature of the genetic material, the double helical structure· of DNA, and the determination of the ge netic code. Our present understanding of the sophisticated mechan isms of regulation and control is a relatively novel acquisition, and recent studies have shed some light into the structure and organi zation of the eukaryotic gene.
