Schematic representation of cap-dependent translation. The initiation factor eIF4E recognizes the 5′cap and promotes the recruitment of eIF4G generating the initiation complex. Ribosome is recruited at the 5′ end of mRNA, and translation takes place once the scanning of 5′UTR is complete and the AUG codon is reached. (Adapted from [11]).
