a
Consensus sequences flanking the AUG start codon according to different references in the literature.
b
Sequences flanking the AUG codon of the uaY ORF and of the new uaY12 aberrant AUG (uORFA), together with the three natural AUGs, which are found in the wild-type uaY 5′-UTR at positions −338, −122, and −44.
