specialized mass spectrometry approaches continue to identify a subset of peptides resulting from such sORFs in several

Most convincingly, a few sORFs that were predicted to be translated from polysome association and ribo- some profiling

(as in

), and many might not produce a robust mutant phenotype when disrupted,
making their study challenging.
How plastic is translation? Alternative isoforms abound. The results of ribosome profiling in yeast and in mam- mals have
indicated that many genes may yield two or more protein variants independently of splicing, which indicates that there may
be surprising flexibility in both where translation starts and where it stops in eukaryotes. Such alternative isoforms have been
seen and charac- terized previously; in budding yeast, for example, both alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (ALA1) and glycyl-tRNA
syn- thase 1 (GRS1) have been shown to exist in two isoforms, providing populations of the protein that are either cyto- solic
or mitochondrial, depending on the presence or absence of an N-terminal in-frame extension99,100. These examples are also

of peptides with weak or no cellular function. New protein domains may evolve through selection for maintenance of
peptides with weak cellular function, followed by stop codon mutation and further selection for increasingly specific and
