DENR promotes translation reinitiation via ribosome recycling to drive expression of oncogenes including ATF4

Upon stress, translation of ATF4 is induced by reinitiating ribosomes following translation of short upstream open reading frames (uORFs). Here the authors show that translation re-initiation of ATF4 is mediated by the DENR-MCTS1 complex which acts on uORFs containing certain penultimate codons.
