Abstract
The mechanism of translation initiation in linear and circular mRNAs influences translation efficiency. Covalent attachment of an N7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap increases protein production from circular mRNAs in mice. Hybridization with capped endogenous RNAs also promotes protein production in cells, suggesting that this interaction might also occur between endogenous RNAs.
