Can ACG serve as an initiation codon for protein synthesis in eucaryotic cells?

C W Anderson et al. Mol Cell Biol. 1985 Dec.

Abstract

An ACG codon, which replaces the AUG codon used to initiate the synthesis of bacteriophage T7 gene 0.3 protein, was shown to function as a low-efficiency initiation codon in a wheat germ cell-free protein-synthesizing system.
