<i>Drosophila</i> as a Model of Unconventional Translation in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3
RNA toxicity contributes to diseases caused by anomalous nucleotide repeat expansions. Recent work demonstrated RNA-based toxicity from repeat-associated, non-AUG-initiated translation (RAN translation). RAN translation occurs around long nucleotide repeats that form hairpin loops, allowing for tran...
