Abstract excerpt
A dynamic structural rearrangement in the phylogenetically conserved helix 27 of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA has been proposed to directly affect the accuracy of translational decoding by switching between "accurate" and "error-prone" conformations. To examine the function of helix 27 in eukaryotes, random and site-specific mutations in helix 27 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae 18S rRNA have been...
