Translation of the human angiotensin II type 1 receptor mRNA is mediated by a highly efficient internal ribosome entry site.

Abstract:

:Activation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) is closely involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The human AT1R (hAT1R) mRNA splice variants have long 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTRs) ranging from 272 to 414 bp that have the potential to form stable secondary structures. In this study, we show that the 5'-UTR of hAT(1)R mRNAs contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) located within the first 40 bp of the proximal end of exon 1. Experiments utilizing the hAT1R 5'-UTR as a molecular decoy demonstrate a reduction in IRES activity of approximately 50%. This inhibition is most efficient for the hAT1R IRES suggesting that a defined set of trans-factors are required to initiate translation through this cis-element. Translation initiation from the hAT1R IRES appears to be physiologically relevant since IRES activity was maintained during serum starvation, a cellular stress known to inhibit cap-dependent translation. These results suggest that cap-independent translation initiation by internal ribosome entry may represent an important mechanism for the regulation of hAT1R expression.
