| Abstract | The molecular mechanism with which an appropriate AUG codon is selected as the start site for translational initiation by eukaryotic ribosomes is not known. By using a cell-free translation system, small RNA molecules containing single AUG codons, surrounded by various nucleotide sequences, were tested for their abilities to interfere with the translation of a reporter mRNA. RNAs containing the AUG in an ACCAUGG context (Kozak consensus sequence) were able to inhibit translation of the reporter mRNA. In contrast, RNAs containing the AUG in a less favorable context for start site selection (for example, CAGAUGG) had no effect on the translation of the reporter mRNA. The effect mediated by the ACCAUGC-containing RNAs was not due to sequestration of ribosomal subunits or to particular structural features in these RNAs. To identify potential trans-acting factors that might be preferentially bound by ACCAUGG-containing RNAs, ACCAUGG- and CAGAUGC-containing RNAs with a single 4-thiouridine residue at the AUG were incubated with partially fractionated extracts, and AUG-binding proteins were identified after irradiation of the complexes with UV light and subsequent analysis by gel electrophoresis. The analysis (of such complexes in competition experiments revealed that proteins, approximately 50 and 100 kDa in size, were found to bind directly at the AUG codon embedded in the ACCAUGG motif. One of these proteins has been identified as the La autoantigen. These findings indicate that trans-acting factors may play a role in AUG start site selection during translational initiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
