Thousands of genes in Arabidopsis seedlings use multiple transcription start sites.
Thousands of genes use multiple TSSs
Translation efficiencies of genes with enhanced usage of downstream TSSs increase upon blue light exposure.
Translation efficiencies of the genes showing enhanced usage of these TSSs increased upon BL exposure.
Blue-light-regulated downstream TSS usage occurs in HY5 and HYH.
This type of regulation is found in <i>HY5</i> and <i>HYH</i>, major regulators of light-dependent gene expression.
Transcripts from TSSs upstream of uORFs accumulated in an NMD mutant for 45 of the 220 genes, including HY5.
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.
Blue light enhances transcription from transcription start sites located downstream of uORFs in 220 genes.
Transcription from TSSs located downstream of the uORFs in 220 genes is enhanced by BL exposure.
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.
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.
