Abstract excerpt
Translational frameshifting is a ubiquitous, if rare, form of alternative decoding in which ribosomes spontaneously shift reading frames during translation elongation. In studying +1 frameshifting in Ty retrotransposons of the yeast S. cerevisiae, we previously showed that unusual P site tRNAs induce frameshifting. The frameshift-inducing tRNAs we show here are near-cognates for the P site codon. Their abnormal...
