Selection Pressure in Alternative Reading Frames
Overlapping genes are two protein-coding sequences sharing a significant part of the same DNA locus in different reading frames. Although in recent times an increasing number of examples have been found in bacteria the underlying mechanisms of their evolution are unknown. In this work we explore how selective pressure in a protein-coding sequence influences its overlapping genes in alternative ...
متن کاملDual modes of natural selection on upstream open reading frames.
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are common features of eukaryotic genes, occurring in 10%-25% of 5' leader sequences. Upstream ORFs that have been subjected to experimental analysis have been generally found to decrease translational efficiency of the downstream coding sequence. Previous investigations of uORFs in mammals and yeast have detected uORFs conserved over long evolutionary dista...
متن کاملTranslation reinitiation at alternative open reading frames regulates gene expression in an integrated stress response
Stress-induced eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2) alpha phosphorylation paradoxically increases translation of the metazoan activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), activating the integrated stress response (ISR), a pro-survival gene expression program. Previous studies implicated the 5' end of the ATF4 mRNA, with its two conserved upstream ORFs (uORFs), in this translational re...
متن کاملHAltORF: a database of predicted out-of-frame alternative open reading frames in human
Human alternative open reading frames (HAltORF) is a publicly available and searchable online database referencing putative products of out-of-frame alternative translation initiation (ATI) in human mRNAs. Out-of-frame ATI is a process by which a single mRNA encodes independent proteins, when distinct initiation codons located in different reading frames are recognized by a ribosome to initiate...
متن کاملDirect Detection of Alternative Open Reading Frames Translation Products in Human Significantly Expands the Proteome
A fully mature mRNA is usually associated to a reference open reading frame encoding a single protein. Yet, mature mRNAs contain unconventional alternative open reading frames (AltORFs) located in untranslated regions (UTRs) or overlapping the reference ORFs (RefORFs) in non-canonical +2 and +3 reading frames. Although recent ribosome profiling and footprinting approaches have suggested the sig...
