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

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
Research over the past two decades has elucidated the pathways for mRNA decay in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The study of these model organisms has given us a general overview of mRNA decay in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Although the two pathways are largely divergent, some c
Two simpli"ed kinetic proofreading scanning (KPS) models were proposed to describe the 5 cap and 3 poly(A) tail dependency of eukaryotic translation initiation. In Model I, the initiation factor complex starts scanning and unwinding the secondary structure of the 5 untranslated region (UTR) from the

## Abstract Enterovirus (EV) infection has been shown to cause a marked shutoff of host protein synthesis, an event mainly achieved through the cleavages of eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF4GI and eIF4GII that are mediated by viral 2A protease (2A^pro^). Using fluorescence resonance en
