Book excerpt: A comprehensive account of recent research in translational control and the molecular mechanisms involved, focusing on the numerous control mechanisms observed in eukaryotes. Subjects include basic mechanisms; the role of phosphorylation; regulation by trans-acting proteins; effects of viral infection; and mRNA stability. Other topics include translational control mediated by upstream AUG codons; a comparative view of initiation site selection mechanisms; and genetics of mitochondrial translation. For researchers with interests in gene expression, RNA biology, and protein synthesis. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
