| Abstract | Cellular stress such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, hypoxia, and viral infection activates an integrated stress response, which includes the phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) to inhibit overall protein synthesis. Paradoxically, this leads to translation of a subset of mRNAs, like transcription factor ATF4, which in turn induces transcription of downstream stress-induced genes such as growth arrest DNA-inducible gene 34 (GADD34). GADD34 interacts with protein phosphatase 1 to dephosphorylate eIF2α, resulting in a negative feedback loop to recover protein synthesis and allow translation of stress-induced transcripts. Here, we show that GADD34 is not only transcriptionally induced but also translationally regulated to ensure maximal expression during eIF2α phosphorylation. GADD34 mRNAs are preferentially associated with polysomes during eIF2α phosphorylation, which is mediated by its 5′-untranslated region (5′UTR). The human GADD34 5′UTR contains two non-overlapping upstream open reading frames (uORFs), whereas the mouse version contains two overlapping and out of frame uORFs. Using 5′UTR GADD34 reporter constructs, we show that the downstream uORF mediates repression of basal translation and directs translation during eIF2α phosphorylation. Furthermore, we show that the upstream uORF is poorly translated and that a proportion of scanning ribosomes bypasses the upstream uORF to recognize the downstream uORF. These findings suggest that GADD34 translation is regulated by a unique 5′UTR uORF mechanism to ensure proper GADD34 expression during eIF2α phosphorylation. This mechanism may serve as a model for understanding how other 5′UTR uORF-containing mRNAs are regulated during cellular stress. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
