Molekulární detaily reiniciace translace v pučících kvasinkách

Eukaryotic translation initiation is a complex multi-step process. It begins with the formation of 43S pre-initiation complex (PIC), which binds to the 5' cap of the mRNA, scans downstream searching for an appropriate AUG start site. Upon AUG recognition by 48S PIC, most of the initiation factors dissociate. However, some initiation factors, such as eIF3 and may be eIF4G, remain transiently associated with the 48S PIC. Here, we have developed a yeast in vivo RNA-Protein Ni2+ -Pull down (Rap-Nip) assay for in vivo detection of eIF3 bound mRNA fragments. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we demonstrated showing that, after initiation, eIF3 persistently associated with the elongating ribosomes for few elongation cycles. Further, it stabilizes the post- termination 40S complex on the stop codon of both uORF1 and 2 by establishing a contact between the N-terminal domain of a/TIF32 subunit and the Reinitiation Promoting Elements (RPEs) of corresponding uORFs on GCN4. Furthermore, employing the β-galactosidase reporter assays we revealed that AU-rich motif (AU1-2A/ UUAU2 motif) that occurs immediately following the stop codon of reinitiation (REI)- permissive uORFs promotes REI in position-specific autonomous fashion. We also have shown that the exact length and the last coding triplet of the REI-permissive...
