The helicase Ded1p controls use of near-cognate translation initiation codons in 5′ UTRs

The conserved and essential DEAD-box RNA helicase Ded1p from yeast and its mammalian orthologue DDX3 are critical for the initiation of translation 1 . Mutations in DDX3 are linked to tumorigenesis 2-4 and intellectual disability 5, and the enzyme is targeted by a range of viruses 6 . How Ded1p and...
