The translation of ribosomal protein (r-protein) mRNAs is generally inefficient and regulated during the differentiation of mouse myoblasts into fibers. In this discussion we show that the first 31 nucleotides of the S16 r-protein mRNA, when located at the 5' end of the mRNA, are sufficient to impart the translational properties of an r-protein mRNA to the SV-GALK mRNA, which is normally translated efficiently in both myoblasts and fibers. If the same S16 sequences are located within the interior of the 5'-untranslated region of the SV-GALK mRNA, however, they do not impart the translational properties of an r-protein mRNA to the SV-GALK mRNA. The translation of mouse r-protein mRNAs was examined in vitro to help elucidate the mechanisms controlling their translation. Mouse r-protein mRNAs are inefficiently translated in rabbit reticulocyte extracts, and the same sequences that mediate their inefficient and regulated translation during myoblast differentiation also mediate their inefficient translation in a position-dependent manner in reticulocyte extracts. To determine whether the subpolysomal r-protein mRNAs that are not actively translated in vivo are capable of translation, subpolysomal RNA was translated in reticulocyte extracts. The subpolysomal r-protein mRNAs are just as capable of translation as are polysomal mRNAs. To help identify the initiation factors and/or the steps in the initiation pathway that mediate the inefficient translation of r-protein mRNAs, reticulocyte extracts were supplemented with purified initiation factors. Only eIF-4F, the cap-binding complex, and eIF-3, which is involved in subunit dissociation and interacts with eIF-4F during initiation, stimulated the translation of r-protein mRNA. These experiments, along with m7GDP inhibition studies, suggest that eIF-4F and/or eIF-3, or the steps mediated by these factors, mediate the inefficient translation in reticulocyte extracts and raise the possibility that these steps also control the regulated translation of r-protein mRNAs during myoblast differentiation.
