Abstract excerpt
This work describes the isolation of mutations in infC, the structural gene for IF3, using different genetic screens. Among 21 mutants characterised, seven were shown to produce stable variant IF3 proteins unable to fully complement a strain carrying a chromosomal deletion of the infC gene. The mutants were also shown to be unable to normally discriminate against several non-canonical initiation codons such as...
