Abstract excerpt
The upstream open reading frame (uORF) is a post-transcriptional regulatory element in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), which modulates the translation levels of main open reading frame (mORF). Earlier studies showed that disturbed uORF-mediated translation control can result in drastic changes in translation levels of mORF, leading to genetic disorders. To date, there has been no systematic investigation into...
