Our understanding of the process by which eukaryotes regulate initiation of DNA replication has made remarkable advances in the past few years, thanks in large part to the explosion of genetic and biochemical information on the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. At least three major concepts h
Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism and regulation of eukaryotic DNA replication have been expedited by the use of cell-free systems capable of initiation of DNA replication. The system capable of replicating plasmid DNAs containing the SV40 origin of DNA replication in vitro is a
The pathway for initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells has been defined and refined over the last 25 years using purified components and in vifro reconstituted systems. More recently, powerful genetic analysis in yeast has proved useful in unraveling aspects of translation inherently mo
## Abstract Aberrant regulation of the translation initiation is known to contribute to tumorigenesis. eIF3 plays an important role in translation initiation. eIF3f is the p47 subunit of the eIF3 complex whose function in cancer is not clear. Initial studies from our group indicated that eIF3f expr
The possibility of combining powerful genetic methods with biochemical analysis has made baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae the organism of choice to study the complex process of translation initiation in eukaryotes. Several new initiation factor genes and interactions between components of the
