Study of metallothionein-1 mRNA and its interaction with elongation factor 1 alpha
Metallothioneins (MT) are small metal-binding proteins. Metallothionein isoform MT-1 alters localization from cytoplasm to nucleus as cells enter S phase. The perinuclear localization of MT-1 mRNA is essential for this nuclear localization. The localization of the MT-1 mRNA requires a signal in the...

| Summary: | Metallothioneins (MT) are small metal-binding proteins. Metallothionein isoform MT-1 alters localization from cytoplasm to nucleus as cells enter S phase. The perinuclear localization of MT-1 mRNA is essential for this nuclear localization. The localization of the MT-1 mRNA requires a signal in the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). This thesis describes studies of the localization signal in the MT-1 3'UTR and its binding to transacting cellular proteins. |
