We have analyzed the biosynthesis of human fibroblast growth factor-5 (FGF-5) at the translational and posttranslational levels. FGF-5 RNA synthesized in vitro can be translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates to yield a 29,500-Da protein, which is consistent with the molecular weight predicted from the coding sequence. The efficiency of FGF-5 translation is dramatically enhanced if an upstream open reading frame (ORF-1) in the RNA is deleted or if both AUG codons in ORF-1 are destroyed by point mutations, while partial enhancement is achieved by individual mutation of either ORF-1 AUG codon. These data suggest that FGF-5 synthesis requires the scanning of ribosomes past the two ORF-1 AUG codons. The introduction of these ORF-1 mutations into a eukaryotic FGF-5 expression vector increases its capacity to transform mouse NIH 3T3 cells up to 50-fold upon transfection. FGF-5 is secreted from transfected 3T3 cells and from human tumor cells as glycoproteins containing heterogeneous amounts of sialic acid. Glycosidase treatments suggest that the growth factor bears both N-linked and O-linked sugars.
