Dissection of a rice OsMac1 mRNA 5' UTR to uncover regulatory elements that are responsible for its efficient translation.

The untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs are involved in many posttranscriptional regulatory pathways. The rice OsMac1 mRNA has three splicing variants of the 5' UTR (UTRa, UTRb, and UTRc), which include a CU-rich region and three upstream open reading frames (uORFs). UTRc contains an additiona...
