摘要
Why should a preponderance of proto-oncogenes, growth factor genes and growth factor receptor genes contain translation initiation codons and associated open reading frames in their 5'-leaders? An increasing number of open reading frames are being shown to function as cis-acting regulatory signals able to moderate expression of the downstream reading frame. These regulatory elements could play a fundamental role in the regulation of proliferation of vertebrate cells.
