Abstract

In previous studies, we showed that acute administration of iron to intact rats or to rat hepatoma cells in culture induces synthesis of the iron-storage protein ferritin by activating translation of inactive cytoplasmic ferritin mRNAs for both the heavy (H) and the light (L) subunits. In the course of activation, these ferritin mRNAs are recruited onto polysomes. To elucidate the structural features of these mRNAs involved in the translational response to iron, a chimera was constructed from the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of ferritin L subunit mRNA fused to the reading frame of the mRNA of bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT). This chimera and deletion constructs derived from it were introduced into a rat hepatoma cell line by retrovirus-mediated gene transfer. The complete chimera showed increased CAT activity in response to iron enrichment of the medium, whereas deletion of the first 67 nucleotides of the 5' UTR, which contain a highly conserved sequence, caused loss of regulation by iron. Whereas cis-acting sequences located in the 5' flanking regions of many genes have been repeatedly implicated in modulating their transcriptional expression, we report here a specific regulatory translational sequence found within the 5' UTR of a eukaryotic mRNA.

In 1987, investigators observed that conserved sequences in the 5' UTRs of both H- and L-ferritin mRNAs were needed to control a ready but quiescent pool of ferritin mRNA.
“In 1987, investigators observed that conserved sequences in the 5Ј untranslated regions (UTRs) of both H-and L-ferritin mRNAs were needed to control a ready but quiescent pool of ferritin mRNA in the cell, which could quickly be mobilized to produce ferritin protein when iron was abundant.22,23”

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.
