MIEF1 Microprotein Regulates Mitochondrial Translation

Recent technological advances led to the discovery of hundreds to thousands of peptides and small proteins (microproteins) encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs). Characterization of new microproteins demonstrates their role in fundamental biological processes and highlights the value in discovering and characterizing more microproteins. The elucidation of microprotein–protein interactions (MPIs) is useful for determining the biochemical...
