InternalRibosomeEntryPathway
Control of translation is one of the major regulatory events in eukaryotic gene expression. Internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) were first discovered in picornavirus RNAs but it is now clear that IRESs are also present in the 5’ untranslated region of many eukaryotic genes including those encoding: growth factors e.g. VEGF, FGF2 and PDGF; genes whose protein products are associated with apoptosis e.g. Apaf-1, IXAP;t......阅读全文
