Mechanisms governing the control of mRNA translation
Abstract
The translation of cellular mRNA to protein is a tightly controlled process often deregulated in diseases such as cancer. Furthering our understanding of mRNA structural elements and the intracellular proteins and signaling pathways that affect protein expression is crucial in the development of new therapies. In this review, we discuss the current state-of-the-art of detecting and determining the role of mRNA sequence elements in regulating the initiation of mRNA translation and the therapeutic strategies that exploit this knowledge to treat disease.
