Sensing spermidine through tongue-tied translation prevents too much of a good thing

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Vindu et al. (2021) identify the yeast high-affinity spermidine transporter, elucidate the mRNA uORF/eIF5a-based translational mechanism by which spermidine levels are sensed, and demonstrate that excess spermidine competitively inhibits eIF5a function, resulting in decreased spermidine uptake.
