mRNA length-sensing in eukaryotic translation: reconsidering the “closed loop” and its implications for translational control

Most eukaryotic mRNAs are recruited to the ribosome by recognition of a 5ʹ m7GpppN cap. 30 years of genetic and biochemical evidence point to a role for interaction between the 5ʹ cap-interacting factors and the 3ʹ poly(A)-binding protein in bringing the ends of the mRNA into close proximity and pro...
