摘要
The 3' untranslated region of human p53 mRNA represses translation both irt vitro and in vivo. Here, we identify a cis-acting 66-nucleotide U-rich sequence in the human p53 mRNA 3' untranslated region that mediates translational repression. Using UV crosslinking, we detect a 40 kDa protein that interacts specifically with the p53 3'UTR containing the repressor element. Enhanced translation of p53 mRNA contributes to the accumulation of p53 protein in cells exposed to gamma-radiation and could be a consequence of relieving the inhibition mediated by the repressor element.
