Abstract excerpt
A 254-nucleotide model mRNA, designated deltaermC mRNA, was used to study the effects of translational signals and ribosome transit on mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis. DeltaermC mRNA features a strong ribosome-binding site (RBS) and a 62-amino-acid-encoding open reading frame, followed by a transcription terminator structure. Inactivation of the RBS or the start codon resulted in a fourfold decrease in the mRNA...
