The 5' cap structure on mRNA is necessary for initiation of eukaryotic translation as it interacts with translation initiation factors to recruit the ribosome to the mRNA. Shine-Dalgarno sequence is found in prokaryotic mRNA and is not involved in eukaryotic translation initiation. 3' poly(A) tail is involved in mRNA stability but not in translation initiation. N-formylmethionine is only used in prokaryotic translation initiation. Introns are spliced out during mRNA processing and are not involved in translation initiation.
