Translational repression by a miniature inverted-repeat transposable element in the 3′ untranslated region

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) are common components of eukaryotic genomes. Here the authors show that a stowaway-like MITE in the 3′-untranslated region of the riceGhd2gene can suppress translation in a DCL3a-dependent manner representing a novel role for transposons in tra...

Here the authors show that a stowaway-like MITE in the 3′-untranslated region of the riceGhd2gene can suppress translation in a DCL3a-dependent manner representing a novel role for transposons in translation.
