Yeast ribosomal protein L24 affects the kinetics of protein synthesis and ribosomal protein L39 improves translational accuracy, while mutants lacking both remain viable.

Abstract excerpt

Four mutant strains from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used to study ribosome structure and function. They included a strain carrying deletions of the two genes encoding ribosomal protein L24, a strain carrying a mutation spb2 in the gene for ribosomal protein L39, a strain carrying a deletion of the gene for L39, and a mutant lacking both L24 and L39. The mutant lacking only L24 showed just 25% of the normal...
