摘要: Translation efficiency is often regulated in part by 5′-untranslated region (5′UTR). Sequence analysis of an evolutionarily conserved stress-responsive protein, Drosophila Peroxiredoxin I (dPrx I), found the transcript to have two alternative 5′UTRs that lead identical coding sequence: namely Ia and Ib. Although both isoforms coexisted cells, isoform appeared be dominant. Furthermore, reporter assay enhanced translation steady-state cells while Ib increased under oxidative stress. Together, our data suggest dPrx may involved a translational regulatory mechanism responds cellular
