frames (sORFs), but the coding capacities of these sORFs and the functions of the resulting
micropeptides remain elusive. Here, we report that human lncRNA MIR155HG encodes a 17–
amino acid micropeptide, which we termed miPEP155 (P155). MIR155HG is highly
expressed by inflamed antigen-presenting cells, leading to the discovery that P155 interacts
with the adenosine 5′-triphosphate binding domain of heat shock cognate protein 70 …
