Abstract excerpt
IF3 is essential for ensuring the fidelity of the initiation step of translation in bacterial cells. Mutations at residues R99 and R131 in the C-terminal domain of the factor have previously been shown to increase initiation from the non-canonical GUA codon. Here we show that these mutant forms o...
