Conserved-peptide upstream open reading frames (CPuORFs) are associated with regulatory genes in angiosperms

Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are common in eukaryotic transcripts, but those that encode conserved peptides (CPuORFs) occur in less than 1% of transcripts. The peptides encoded by three plant CPuORF families are known to control translation of the downstream ORF in response to a small signal...
