Gene Expression Regulation by Upstream Open Reading Frames and Human Disease
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are major gene expression regulatory elements. In many eukaryotic mRNAs, one or more uORFs precede the initiation codon of the main coding region. Indeed, several studies have revealed that almost half of human transcripts present uORFs. Very interesting examples have shown that these uORFs can impact gene expression of the downstream main ORF by triggering ...
متن کاملTuning gene expression with synthetic upstream open reading frames.
We engineered short ORFs and used them to control the expression level of recombinant proteins. These short ORFs, encoding a two-amino acid peptide, were placed upstream of an ORF encoding a protein of interest. Insertion of these upstream ORFs (uORFs) resulted in suppression of protein expression. By varying the base sequence preceding the uORF, we sought to vary the translation initiation rat...
متن کاملGene expression regulation by upstream open reading frames in rare diseases
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) constitute a class of cis-acting elements that regulate translation initiation. Mutations or polymorphisms that alter, create or disrupt a uORF have been widely associated with several human disorders, including rare diseases. In this mini-review, we intend to highlight the mechanisms associated with the uORF-mediated translational regulation and describe re...

متن کاملControl of MYEOV protein synthesis by upstream open reading frames.
The myeov gene has been isolated by the tumorigenicity assay and is localized at chromosome 11q13, a frequent site for chromosomal rearrangements in various carcinomas and B-cell neoplasms. In addition, myeov is coamplified with cyclin D1 and overexpressed in carcinomas of various organs. The mechanisms of myeov regulation remain enigmatic. The 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the myeov gene ...
