Leveraging genome-wide datasets to quantify the functional role of the anti-Shine–Dalgarno sequence in regulating translation efficiency [PDF]
Studies dating back to the 1970s established that sequence complementarity between the anti-Shine–Dalgarno (aSD) sequence on prokaryotic ribosomes and the 5′ untranslated region of mRNAs helps to facilitate translation initiation. The optimal location of

The scientific review considers the mechanisms of action of cytoplasmic microRNAs, namely miRNA-mediated silencing, which is caused during the initiation and post-initiation period of translation.

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.

A number of neurologic diseases associated with expanded nucleotide repeats, including an inherited form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, have an unconventional form of translation called repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation.

The Helix-Loop-Helix motif of human EIF3A regulates translation of proliferative cellular mRNAs.
Improper regulation of translation initiation, a vital checkpoint of protein synthesis in the cell, has been linked to a number of cancers. Overexpression of protein subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is associated with ...

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.

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.

Translation Initiation Factors eIF3 and HCR1 Control Translation Termination and Stop Codon Read-Through in Yeast Cells [PDF]
Translation is divided into initiation, elongation, termination and ribosome recycling. Earlier work implicated several eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) in ribosomal recycling in vitro.

Translation elongation can control translation initiation on eukaryotic mRNAs [PDF]
Synonymous codons encode the same amino acid, but differ in other biophysical properties. The evolutionary selection of codons whose properties are optimal for a cell generates the phenomenon of codon bias.
