Abstract excerpt
The mRNA of the intronless, single-copy CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-beta (C/EBPbeta) gene encodes several isoforms that have truncated transcription activation domains. This occurs by the alternative translational initiation (ATI) at multiple AUG start sites. The C/EBPbeta mRNA has four in-frame AUGs and an internal out-of-frame AUG associated with a small open reading frame (sORF). Initiation of translation...
