Keyword RNA termination-reinitiation

rdf/xml obo
DefinitionProtein which is derived from an mRNA by termination-reinitiation, a process in which ribosomes translate the upstream ORF but following termination, a proportion of 40S subunits remain tethered to the mRNA and reinitiates at the start codon of the downstream ORF to another open reading frame. Termination-reinitiation operates in animals and yeast translational systems.
