发帖数: 70 | 1 in the case of a couple of start codons, the context arround
is important to determine the initiation site. and the most
famous one is found by Kozak. basically, leaky scanning means
that ribosome scans the mRNA and bypasses the first start codon
it meets and initiates from a downstream one. some virus proteins
utilizes this mechanism for translation initiation.
shunting means "jumping". in adenovirus and hepatitis virus,
some genes use such ribosome shunting mechanism for translation
