Abstract excerpt
While many mRNAs contain more than one translation initiation site (TIS), the functions of most alternative TISs and their corresponding protein isoforms (proteoforms) remain undetermined. Here, we showed that alternative usage of CUG and AUG TISs in neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPR) mRNA produced two proteoforms, of which the ratio was regulated by RNA secondary structure and neuronal activity. Downstream AUG...
