Abstract:
Information has been collected to stimulate interest regarding the nature and the possible role of mRNP protein phosphorylation in a cytoplasmic control mechanism for protein synthesis. It does not imply a direct relationship between mRNP protein and initiation factors. These proteins have some properties in common (e.g. molecular weight, phosphorylation, protein kinase, mRNA binding activity). We emphasize that some free mRNP may be translatable after modification of their protein by interference factors belonging to other cellular compartments. Thus, some mRNP proteins might possess initiation factor or protein synthetic activity if we accept Spirin's theory, i.e., "Eukaryotic messenger RNA and informosomes omnia mea mecum porto.

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
