Moonlighting genes harbor antisense ORFs that encode potential membrane proteins by Kasman E. Thomas, Paul A. Gagniuc, Elvira Gagniuc

“…We also find that moonlighting genes tend to co-locate with genes involved in cell wall, cell membrane, or cell envelope production. On the basis of this and other findings, we offer a model in which we propose that moonlighting gene products are likely to escape the cell through gaps in the cell wall and membrane, at wall/membrane construction sites; and we propose that antisense ORFs produce “membrane-sticky” protein products, effectively binding moonlighting-gene DNA to the cell membrane in porous areas where intensive cell-wall/cell-membrane construction is underway. …”
