Small ORF-related genome-wide screen performed at the DRSC reported by Zanet, Benrabah et al. in Science

Zanet J, Benrabah E, Li T, Pélissier-Monier A, Chanut-Delalande H, Ronsin B, Bellen HJ, Payre F, Plaza S. Pri sORF peptides induce selective proteasome-mediated protein processing. Science. 2015 Sep 18;349(6254):1356-8. PMID: 26383956.

From the abstract: "A wide variety of RNAs encode small open-reading-frame (smORF/sORF) peptides, but their functions are largely unknown. Here, we show that Drosophila polished-rice (pri) sORF peptides trigger proteasome-mediated protein processing, converting the Shavenbaby (Svb) transcription repressor into a shorter activator. A genome-wide RNA interference screen identifies an E2-E3 ubiquitin-conjugating complex, UbcD6-Ubr3, which targets Svb to the proteasome in a pri-dependent manner. ... "
