Biological Chemistry
New research on biological chemistry from Niigata University, Department of Biology summarized
April 10th, 2007
Current study results from the report, "Binding mode of the first aminoacyl-tRNA in translation initiation mediated by Plautia stali intestine virus internal ribosome entry site," have been published. According to recent research from Niigata, Japan, "Eukaryotic ribosomes directly bind to the intergenic region-internal ribosome entry site (IGR-IRES) of Plautia stali intestine virus (PSIV) and initiate translation without either initiation factors or initiator Met-tRNA. We have investigated the mode of binding of the first aminoacyl-tRNA in translation initiation mediated by the IGR-IRES." "Binding ability of aminoacyl-tRNA to the first codon within the IGR-IRES/80 S...
