Keyword RNA translational shunting

rdf/xml obo
DefinitionProtein which is derived from an mRNA by translational shunting, a process in which ribosomes are loaded onto mRNA at the 5'-cap structure, start scanning for a short distance before bypassing the large internal leader region and initiating at a downstream start site. Shunting operates in plants, animals, and yeast translational systems, both in vivo and in vitro.
