Abstract excerpt
Four short upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the mRNA leader are required for the translational control of GCN4 expression in response to amino acid availability. Data are reviewed demonstrating that the fourth (3' proximal) uORF is sufficient to establish the repressed levels of GCN4 expression, while the first uORF functions as a positive regulatory element under starvation conditions to stimulate GCN4...
