The combination of genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches have made the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae a convenient organism to study translation. The sequence similarity of translation factors from yeast and other organisms suggests a high degree of conservation in the translational machineries. This view is also strengthened by a functional analogy of some proteins implicated in translation. Beautiful genetic experiments have confirmed existing models and added new insights in the mechanism of translation. This review summarizes recent experiments using yeast as a model system for the analysis of this complex process.
遗传、分子和生化方法的结合,使酿酒酵母成为研究翻译的便利生物体。酵母与其他生物体翻译因子的序列相似性表明,翻译机制具有高度保守性。一些与翻译相关的蛋白质的功能相似性也强化了这一观点。出色的遗传学实验证实了现有模型,并为翻译机制增添了新的见解。本综述总结了最近以酵母为模型系统分析这一复杂过程的实验。
