Abstract
Herein, we show that a naturally occurring RNA G-quadruplex element within the 5' UTR of the human NRAS proto-oncogene is a target for a small molecule that inhibits translation in vitro. The present study provides a first demonstration that natural 5' UTR mRNA G-quadruplexes have potential as molecular targets for small molecules that modulate translation.Entities:
