Abstract excerpt
The DNA-binding DNA polymerase (gp43) of phage T4 is also an RNA-binding protein that represses translation of its own mRNA. Previous studies implicated two segments of the untranslated 5'-leader of the mRNA in repressor binding, an RNA hairpin structure and the adjacent RNA to the 3' side, which contains the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. Here, we show by in vitro gp43-RNA binding assays that both translated and...
