In this case, the uORF AUG acts as a "decoy" from the standard AUG start, so that it acts as a negative regulator of gene expression at least for some fraction of ribosomes.
A potential general mechanism for uORFs to affect translational efficiency is as a decoy from the principal ORF, causing premature termination, by triggering mRNA decay via NMD, or delaying the ribosomal complex from attaching and initiating translation at the correct AUG start codon.
From the stern of the tender they trailed a decoy, made from a piece of carpet cut to the outline of a seal, and they mashed pieces of herring and tuna in a cylinder mounted on the side of the boat and dispensed the mixture into the water.
Before splitting the backbone and adding this side-chain to the library, B RDEE scored the B-like modal rotamer for Ile47 worse than a decoy when starting from B and forwent it entirely when starting from A. This can likely be attributed to local packing constraints the deposited B side-chain has χ1 over 20○ away from the modal rotamer, which therefore does not match well.
Decoy database searching is based on the real data and uses a decoy database derived from this real database; as this maintains the same amino acid composition and the search space characteristics.
Interestingly, all generated conformations from each starting point (except for the third decoy from A) were within 2.2 kcal/mol of each other, implying that despite dealing with small energetic differences, B RDEE correctly discriminated physically realistic conformations from decoys.
Aphids could thus be under two conflicting evolutionary pressures since the exuviae in a colony could incur costs from colony detection and benefits from a decoy effect.
This is a decoy to distract attention from all the other honours, and devilishly effective.
