Table of Contents:
  • Contents: Radiation-induced gene expression has long been considered to play a role in determining cellular radioresponse
  • Analyses of single genes and whole genomes indicate that radiation-induced changes at the mRNA level do not correlate with changes in corresponding proteins
  • Microarray analysis of polysome-bound RNA indicates that radiation modifies the translational activity of mRNA subpopulations, which correlates with protein products
  • Gene translation is considerably more susceptible to radiation-induced changes than is the transcriptome
  • Defining the genes whose translation is modified by radiation may provide an approach for identifying critical proteins and pathways that serve as determinants of radiosensitivity.
