Small Peptides Switch the Transcriptional Activity of Shavenbaby During Drosophila Embryogenesis

Abstract

Transcription On and sORF: Eukaryotic transcriptomes include numerous RNAs that are presumed noncoding because they include only short open reading frames (sORFs). However, some sORF RNAs actually produce small peptides with unknown activity. Now Kondo et al. (p. 336 ; see the Perspective by Rosenberg ) report the function of peptides containing 11 to 32 amino acids that are encoded by the gene polished-rice ( pri ). pri triggers N-terminal truncation of the transcription factor Shavenbaby that controls epidermal differentiation in Drosophila . Following pri expression, Shavenbaby is converted from a transcriptional repressor to an activator. Thus, sORF peptides can control transcriptional programs during embryonic development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
