Abstract excerpt
A 50-nucleotide coding gap divides bacteriophage T4 gene 60 into two open reading frames. In response to cis-acting stimulatory signals encrypted in the mRNA, the anticodon of the ribosome-bound peptidyl tRNA dissociates from a GGA codon at the end of the first open reading frame and pairs with a GGA codon 47 nucleotides downstream just before the second open reading frame. Mutations affecting ribosomal protein...
