Simple Procedure for Creation of In-Frame Deletion Mutations Throughout an Open Reading Frame
A general method is presented for randomly mutagenizing open reading frames (ORF) to generate in-frame deletions and insertions. Theprotocol requires expression of the ORF of interest as a hybrid ORF-β-galactosidase fusion protein.

MicroRNA-34a modulates MDM4 expression via a target site in the open reading frame. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: MDM4, also called MDMX or HDMX in humans, is an important negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor. MDM4 is overexpressed in about 17% of all cancers and more frequently in some types, such as colon cancer or retinoblastoma.

Open reading frame cloning: identification, cloning, and expression of open reading frame DNA. [PDF]
A plasmid was constructed that facilitates the cloning and expression of open reading frame DNA. A DNA fragment containing a bacterial promoter and the amino terminus of the cI gene of bacteriophage lambda was fused to an amino-terminally deleted version of the lacZ gene.

Conserved Upstream Open Reading Frame Nascent Peptides that Control Translation.
Cells utilize transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms to alter gene expression in response to environmental cues. Gene-specific controls, including changing the translation of specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs), provide a rapid means to respond ...

AlterORF: a database of alternate open reading frames [PDF]
AlterORF is a searchable database that contains information regarding alternate open reading frames (ORFs) for over 1.5 million genes in 481 prokaryotic genomes. The objective of the database is to provide a platform for improving genome annotation and to serve as an aid for the identification of prokaryotic genes that potentially encode proteins in ...

Selecting Open Reading Frames From DNA [PDF]
We describe a method to select DNA encoding functional open reading frames (ORFs) from noncoding DNA within the context of a specific vector. Phage display has been used as an example, but any system requiring DNA encoding protein fragments, for example, the yeast two-hybrid system, could be used.

Mitochondrial-Derived Peptides in Diabetes and Its Complications
The changes of mitochondrial function are closely related to diabetes and its complications. Here we describe the effects of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs), short peptides formed by transcription and translation of the open reading frame site in ...
