Novel mRNA-specific effects of ribosome drop-off on translation rate and polysome profile
Fig 16
Density (a, c, e) and current (b, d, f) profiles for CRH1 (YGR189C), for α = 1s−1, in a maximal current-like phase.
Details, including the values of γ, are as in Fig 14. (a),(b): no ribosome drop-off γ = 0; (c), (d): physiological value of ribosome drop-off γ = 1.4 × 10−3 s−1; (e), (f): ribosome drop-off under ethanol stress γ = 5.6 × 10−3 s−1. The current profiles clearly show an increase in the slope as ribosome drop-off increases, qualitatively similar to the effects predicted for sequences in MC.
