[Control of protein synthesis in eukaryote cells]

In the present report, the following aspects of the control of gene expression in eukaryote cells has been reviewed: 1) the mechanism of mRNA formation in relation to recent findings on introns in genes; 2) the correlation between the concentration of mRNAs in cells and the rate of synthesis of the related proteins; 3) the control of specific transcription; 4) the stabilization of specific mRNAs; 5) the involvement of genome rearrangement as a possible mode of controlling gene expression; 6) the mechanism of hormonal control of specific gene expression.
