Claim 1descriptive observationsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Thousands of genes in Arabidopsis seedlings use multiple transcription start sites.

Quoted textsource-backed
Thousands of genes use multiple TSSs
Claim 2functional effectsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Translation efficiencies of genes with enhanced usage of downstream TSSs increase upon blue light exposure.

Quoted textsource-backed
Translation efficiencies of the genes showing enhanced usage of these TSSs increased upon BL exposure.
Claim 3gene specific observationsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Blue-light-regulated downstream TSS usage occurs in HY5 and HYH.

Quoted textsource-backed
This type of regulation is found in <i>HY5</i> and <i>HYH</i>, major regulators of light-dependent gene expression.
Claim 4mutant accumulation observationsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Transcripts from TSSs upstream of uORFs accumulated in an NMD mutant for 45 of the 220 genes, including HY5.

Quoted textsource-backed
We also show that transcripts from TSSs upstream of uORFs in 45 of the 220 genes, including <i>HY5</i>, accumulated in a mutant of NMD.
Claim 5regulatory responsesupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Blue light enhances transcription from transcription start sites located downstream of uORFs in 220 genes.

Quoted textsource-backed
Transcription from TSSs located downstream of the uORFs in 220 genes is enhanced by BL exposure.
Claim 6summary conclusionsupports2018Source 1DOIPubMed

Blue light controls gene expression not only by enhancing transcription but also by choosing transcription start sites, and transcripts from downstream TSSs evade uORF-mediated inhibition to ensure high expression of light-regulated genes.

Quoted textsource-backed
These results suggest that BL controls gene expression not only by enhancing transcriptions but also by choosing the TSS, and transcripts from downstream TSSs evade uORF-mediated inhibition to ensure high expression of light-regulated genes.
