Gene 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 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 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 کاملInvolvement of upstream open reading frames in regulation of rat V(1b) vasopressin receptor expression.
The V(1b) vasopressin receptor, expressed mainly in the corticotroph of the anterior pituitary, mediates the stimulatory effect of vasopressin on ACTH release. To clarify the regulation of receptor expression, we cloned, sequenced (up to approximately 5 kb from the translation start site), and characterized the 5'-flanking region of the rat V(1b) receptor gene. We identified the transcription s...
