Diversity of mechanisms in the regulation of translation in prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes

L Lindahl et al. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

Regulation of translation is used to control the expression of many essential and highly expressed genes. The known repertoire of molecular mechanisms for translational regulation is expanding. Recently elucidated mechanisms involve alterations in mRNA structure and modulation of the activity of translation initiation factors.
