PROTEIN-RESPONSIVE TRANSLATION CONTROL SYSTEM UTILIZING RNA-PROTEIN INTERACTION MOTIF

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a translationally regulatable mRNA which has wider application and can perform specific ON-OFF regulation, an RNA-protein complex specifically bound to the mRNA, and a translational regulatory system. The present invention provides an mRNA having an RNA-protein complex interacting motif-derived nucleotide sequence 5' to the ribosome-binding site or within the 5' region of the open reading frame, and an mRNA having a nucleotide sequence complementary to an RNA-protein complex interacting motif-derived nucleotide sequence 5' to the ribosome-binding site or within the 5' region of the open reading frame.
