Abstract excerpt
The infB gene encodes translation initiation factor IF2. We have determined the entire sequence of infB from two cold-sensitive Escherichia coli strains IQ489 and IQ490. These two strains have been isolated as suppressor strains for the temperature-sensitive secretion mutation secY24. The mutations causing the suppression phenotype are located within infB. The only variations from the wild-type (wt) infB found in...
