-
VSG221 RNAi (Fig. 5C), most of the ribosomes were associated with polysomes.
-
Analysis of polysomes in the stalled cells showed that the translation arrest is mediated at the level of translation initiation rather than elongation.
-
Polysome analysis showed a drastic decrease in polysomes in the arrested cells.
-
This translation arrest was correlated with disassociation of ribosomes from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and a drastic reduction in polysomes, arguing that the translation arrest was operating at the level of translation initiation.
