Ribosomal frameshifting in yeast viruses 2004-01-29 .txt text/plain 6721 406 64 Ribosomal frameshifting is different from frameshift suppression in that these events are directed by specific mRNA sequences and structures, rather than being a consequence of mutations in host gene products, e.g. tRNAs containing four base anticodon loops. In eukaryotes, frameshifting in the +1, or 3' direction has been observed in the Ty retrotransposable elements in yeast (for review, see reference 25), and in the ornithine decarboxylase antizyme gene in mammalian ~e l l s .~~,~~ In Tyl and Ty3, +1 they splice their RNA.4 I: s6 All of these classes ribosomal frameshifting between the T Y A and T Y B genes in Tyl and the GAG3 and POL3 genes in Ty3 also results in the production of Gag-Pol fusion proteins. A longer ribosomal pause over the slippery site would follow, yielding increased efficiencies of -1 ribosomal frame~hifting.~.'~ A weak point of this model is that, in some mRNA pseudoknots, stem 1 is only five or six base pairs in slippery site, eliminating frameshifting. ./cache/cord-010120-mqvm9zn4.txt ./txt/cord-010120-mqvm9zn4.txt
