Abstract
The mechanism by which adenovirus virus-associated RNAI stimulates translational efficiency in a transient-expression assay in 293 cells was investigated. We showed that DNA transfection leads to activation of a protein kinase that phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eucaryotic initiation factor 2 and, as a consequence, inhibition of polypeptide chain initiation. Cotransfection of a plasmid encoding adenovirus type 2 virus-associated RNAI recovered the translational capacity by preventing activation of the kinase.Entities:
