Abstract: | Fundamental differences between the most commonly exploited mechanisms of translation initiation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems are briefly considered. A non-canonical, "prokaryotic-like", cap-independent internal initiation of translation by eukaryotic systems, as exemplified by the picornaviral RNAs, is discussed in more details. |
