Immunity and the regulation of protein synthesis: surprising connections.

Résumé

The plasticity that is needed by the cell to respond to rapid changes in its environment cannot only be provided by means of transcriptional regulation, which generally confers on cells a set of stable properties. Alternatively, the control of mRNA translation allows the cell to modulate rapidly and over short period of time its gene expression program, without invoking the slower nuclear pathways for mRNA synthesis and transport. Several recent findings indicate that regulation of translation affects directly antigen presentation, cytokine production, as well as the survival of dendritic cells. I describe here some of the regulatory mechanisms that control translation in response to microbial products or cytokine exposure and their contribution to the overall immune response.
