Abstract excerpt
High-level expression of non-functional model proteins, derived from elongation factor EF-Tu by the deletion of an essential domain, greatly inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli partly deficient in peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase. High-level expression in wild-type cells has little effect on growth. The inhibitory effect is therefore presumably due to the sequestration of essential tRNA species, partly in the form of...
