A B1 SINE element within the mouse Malat1 long noncoding RNA acts as an internal ribosome entry site mediating micropeptide translation | Science Advances
In most cells, Malat1 long noncoding RNA localizes to the nucleus where it affects splicing and chromatin function. In mouse neurons, Malat1 is exported to the cytoplasm where it is translated to generate the M1 micropeptide. Here, we characterize an ...
