“…The genes that contain the cold-box element within the 59 UTR are regulated by cold shock, and appear to be controlled by a range of transcriptional and translational control mechanisms (reviewed by Graumann & Marahiel, 1998;Panoff et al, 1998;Phadtare et al, 1999;Thieringer et al, 1998;Yamanaka et al, 1998;Mitta et al, 1997). As noted above, the 59 UTRs in most vertebrates are ,100 bp, but are longer in genes that are tightly controlled (UhlmannSchiffler et al, 2002), and such structures can modulate translation by the formation of secondary structures and by RNA-protein interaction (Gray & Wickens, 1998;UhlmannSchiffler et al, 2002).…”
