abstract = {Gene expression can be regulated at the level of initiation of protein biosynthesis via structural elements present at the 5' untranslated region of mRNAs. These folded mRNA segments may bind to the ribosome, thus blocking translation until the mRNA unfolds. Here, we report a series of cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of ribosomal complexes directly visualizing either the mRNA structure blocked by repressor protein S15 or the unfolded, active mRNA. In the stalled state, the folded mRNA prevents the start codon from reaching the peptidyl-tRNA (P) site inside the ribosome. Upon repressor release, the mRNA unfolds and moves into the mRNA channel allowing translation initiation. A comparative structure and sequence analysis suggests the existence of a universal stand-by site on the ribosome (the 30S platform) dedicated for binding regulatory 5' mRNA elements. Different types of mRNA structures may be accommodated during translation preinitiation and regulate gene expression by transiently stalling the ribosome.},

abstract = {Vertebrate snRNA and snRNA-type genes occur in independent transcription units with external promoters. The transcription level from the basal promoter is enhanced by the distal sequence element DSE. This element contains almost invariably two activator submotifs, the Staf binding site and the octamer motif, recruiting the Staf and Oct-1 transcriptional activators. In the present work, database search identified 35 snRNA and snRNA-type genes in the genome sequence of the pufferfish Fugu rubripes. Sequence comparisons of promoter elements, determination of template activities by microinjection into Xenopus oocytes and DNA binding assays of the transcriptional activators led to the surprising finding that only two Fugu genes conform to the general scheme with the expected two submotifs in the DSE. Distinctively, all the other DSEs harbor a unique Staf binding site. Also striking was the observation that the tRNA(Sec), and the snRNA genes that are tandemly repeated, are transcribed from promoter-less DSEs. Evolutionary implications of these results are discussed.},
