Herein, we show that a naturally occurring RNA G-quadruplex element within the 5′ UTR of the human NRAS proto-oncogene is a target for a small molecule that inhibits translation in vitro. The present study provides a first demonstration that natural 5′ UTR mRNA G-quadruplexes have potential as molecular targets for small molecules that modulate translation.

基因 5′ UTR 中天然存在的 RNA G-四叠体是一种抑制体外翻译的小分子的靶点。本研究首次证明,天然 5′ UTR mRNA G-四联体有可能成为调节翻译的小分子的分子靶标。
