Arabidopsis epigenetic factor AS2 attenuates nucleolar stress by camptothecin and establishes leaf polarity by repressing a CDK inhibitor

The paper identifies camptothecin as a chemical modulator of AS2 function in Arabidopsis, showing its role in leaf polarity by regulating nucleolar stress and CDK inhibitor expression.

Genome-wide identification of Arabidopsis non-AUG-initiated upstream ORFs with evolutionarily conserved regulatory sequences that control protein expression levels

The paper identifies four novel non-AUG-initiated upstream ORFs in Arabidopsis that regulate protein expression levels through conserved sequences.

Exhaustive identification of conserved upstream open reading frames with potential translational regulatory functions from animal genomes

The paper identifies conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in animal genomes and finds seven novel regulatory uORFs that repress main ORF translation.

Comprehensive genome-wide identification of angiosperm upstream ORFs with peptide sequences conserved in various taxonomic ranges using a novel pipeline, ESUCA

The paper introduces a pipeline called ESUCA to identify conserved upstream ORFs (CPuORFs) across multiple plant species and finds that many of these CPuORFs are functionally conserved.
