The complexity of the metazoan proteome is significantly increased by the expression of small proteins (<100 aas) derived from smORFs within lncRNAs, uORFs, 3 UTRs and, more rarely, reading frames overlapping the CDS. These smORF encoded proteins (SEPs) can have diverse roles, ranging from the regulation of cellular physiological to essential developmental functions. We report the characterisation of a new member of this protein family, SEP53BP1, derived from a small internal ORF that overlaps the CDS that encodes 53BP1. Its expression is coupled to the utilisation of an alternative, cell-type specific, promoter coupled to translational reinitiation events mediated by a uORF in the alternative 5 TL of the mRNA. The uORF-mediated initiation at the internal AUG53BP1 is conserved in metazoan species ranging from human to zebrafish. As such, it couples SEP53BP1 expression to the integrated stress response (ISR). We demonstrate that one function of this protein is to interact with, and stimulate, the activity of the 26S proteasome. As such, it opens the door to new approaches in the treatment of clinical conditions that arise due to the accumulation of toxic intracellular protein aggregates

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
