A translation initiation element specific to mRNAs with very short 5'UTR that also regulates transcription. [PDF]
Transcription is controlled by cis regulatory elements, which if localized downstream to the transcriptional start site (TSS), in the 5'UTR, could influence translation as well.

Non-AUG translation initiation in mammals
Recent proteogenomic studies revealed extensive translation outside of annotated protein coding regions, such as non-coding RNAs and untranslated regions of mRNAs. This non-canonical translation is largely due to start codon plurality within the same RNA.

Modifications on Translation Initiation [PDF]
Two studies by Meyer et al. and Wang et al. demonstrate a role for m(6)A modification of mRNA in stimulating translation initiation. These findings add to the growing number of diverse mechanisms for translation initiation in eukaryotes.

Ribosome stalling during translation has recently been shown to cause neurodegeneration, yet the signaling pathways triggered by stalled elongation complexes are unknown.

Translation initiation of viral mRNAs [PDF]
AbstractViruses depend on cells for their replication but have evolved mechanisms to achieve this in an efficient and, in some instances, a cell‐type‐specific manner. The expression of viral proteins is frequently subject to translational control. The dominant target of such control is the initiation step of protein synthesis.

Reversal of G-Quadruplexes’ Role in Translation Control When Present in the Context of an IRES
G-quadruplexes (GQs) are secondary nucleic acid structures that play regulatory roles in various cellular processes. G-quadruplex-forming sequences present within the 5′ UTR of mRNAs can function not only as repressors of translation but also as elements

Sulfolobus solfataricus translation initiation factor 1 stimulates translation initiation complex formation [PDF]
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 binds to the ribosome during translation initiation. It is instrumental for initiator-tRNA and mRNA binding, and has a function in selection of the authentic start codon. Here, we show that the archaeal homolog aIF1 has analogous functions.

MATH-BTB proteins are known to act as substrate-specific adaptors of CUL3-based E3 ligases in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. Their BTB domain binds to CUL3 scaffold proteins and the less conserved MATH domain targets a highly diverse collection of ...

Promotion of Viral IRES-Mediated Translation Initiation under Mild Hypothermia. [PDF]
Internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation is an essential replication step for certain viruses. As IRES-mediated translation is regulated differently from cap-dependent translation under various cellular conditions, we sought to ...

Summary: Sequences within 5′ UTRs dictate the site and efficiency of translation initiation. In this study, an unbiased screen designed to interrogate the 5′ UTR-mediated regulation of the growth-promoting gene MYC unexpectedly revealed the ribosomal ...
