Utilization of Messenger in Adenovirus-2-infected Cells at Normal and Elevated Temperatures

THE regulation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells appears to be distinctly different from that in prokaryotes. The long-lived messenger RNA in eukaryotes suggests that control of protein synthesis occurs partially at the level of translation and regulation at the level of initiation of translation of messenger RNA has been found under several different conditions in mammalian cells^1–6.
