Abstract
Eliminating the uORF did not significantly increase expression from similar distal promoter transcript ER-GFP constructs. However, study of in-frame fusions of GFP to the entire proximal and distal uORFs and to their translational start motifs showed that the translational start region of the distal uORF was inherently better at initiating translation than the AUG environment of the proximal promoter transcript uORF. The data indicate there are regulatory properties suppressing expression from the ER translation start which are specific to the unique regions of the ER proximal promoter transcript and these are likely associated with the proximal transcript uORF peptide product.
