Sequence-intrinsic barriers define a class of translation-restricted uORFs in the human genome

Hinata Hashimoto, Taichi Akase, Hikaru Kurasawa…·Yasunori Aizawa

The paper identifies translation-restricted uORFs in the human genome that act as sequence-intrinsic barriers to protein production, showing they are under purifying selection as cis-regulatory elements.

Autonomous functionality of an upstream open reading frame in polycistronic mammalian mRNAs

Shohei Kitano, Gabriel Pratt, Keizo Takao, Yasunori Aizawa

The paper identifies a uORF in mammalian mRNAs that functions independently of its downstream anORF, challenging the monocistronic gene model.
