We have previously shown that a 5'-terminal region of mouse 5 S rRNA can base-pair in vitro with two distinct regions of 18 S rRNA. Further analysis reveals that these 5 S rRNA-complementary sequences in 18 S rRNA also exhibit complementarity to the Kozak consensus sequence surrounding the mRNA translational start site. To test the possibility that these 2 regions in 18 S rRNA may be involved in mRNA binding and translational initiation, we have tested, using an in vitro translation system, the effects of DNA oligonucleotides complementary to these 18 S rRNA sequences on protein synthesis. Results show that an oligonucleotide complementary to one 18 S rRNA region does inhibit translation at the step of initiation. We propose a Competitive-Displacement Model for the initiation of translation involving the intermolecular base-pairing of 5 S rRNA, 18 S rRNA and mRNA.
