The cDNA sequence of rat angiotensin II type 1A receptor (AT1AR) shows that AT1AR transcripts have AUG triplets in the 5'-leader region that may begin a short open reading frame encoding an 11-amino acid peptide. In this study, the mutational inactivation of the start codon of the short open reading frame in AT1AR-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene constructs resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in CAT activity, whereas CAT transcript levels were not affected. Furthermore, experiments with rat AT1AR cDNA-transfected Cos-7 cells revealed that mutagenesis of the upstream AUG increased the AT1AR protein up to 2.5-fold, although AT1AR transcript levels showed no changes. The synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence of the short open reading frame significantly suppressed the amount of AT1AR product in the in vitro translation system. The inhibiting effect of the short open reading frame appears to operate at least in part at the level of translation initiation, because polysome analysis with transfected Cos-7 cells showed that mutagenesis of the upstream AUG resulted in a shift of AT1AR mRNA distribution from a smaller to larger fraction of polysomes. Taken together, these results show that the upstream AUG inhibits translational regulation, suggesting that the short open reading frame in the 5'-leader region of AT1AR transcripts has a certain role in the translation of AT1AR protein.

D015500 Chloramphenicol O-Acetyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the acetylation of chloramphenicol to yield chloramphenicol 3-acetate. Since chloramphenicol 3-acetate does not bind to bacterial ribosomes and is not an inhibitor of peptidyltransferase, the enzyme is responsible for the naturally occurring chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. The enzyme, for which variants are known, is found in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. EC 2.3.1.28.
