Abstract

Translational control provides numerous advantages in regulation of gene expression including rapid responsiveness, intracellular localization, nondestruction of template mRNA, and coordinated regulation of transcript ensembles. Transcript-selective, translational control is driven by the specific interaction of factor(s) with the 5' or 3' untranslated region (UTR), thereby influencing initiation, elongation, or termination of mRNA translation. The mean length of human 3'UTRs is greater than that of 5'UTR, indicating the expanded potential for motifs, structural elements, and binding sites for trans-acting factors that exert transcript-selective translation control. New and unexpected mechanisms of 3'UTR-mediated translational control and their contributions to disease have received increasing attention during the last decade. Here, we briefly review a few recent and representative discoveries of 3'UTR-mediated translational control, emphasizing the novel aspects of these regulatory mechanisms and their potential pathophysiological significance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
