Abstract
The use of cell-free systems enables biochemical determination of factors and mechanisms contributing to translational processes. The preparation and use of cell-free translation systems from the fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Neurospora crassa are described. Examples provided illustrate the use of these systems, in conjunction with luciferase assays, [(35)S]Met incorporation, and primer-extension inhibition (toeprint) analyses, to assess the translational effects of upstream open reading frames and premature termination codons.Entities:
