Abstract excerpt
A1916 in 23S rRNA is located in one of the major intersubunit bridges of the 70S ribosome. Deletion of A1916 disrupts the intersubunit bridge B2a, promotes misreading of the genetic code and is lethal. In a genetic selection for suppressor mutations, two base substitutions in 16S rRNA were recovered that restored viability and also allowed expression of DeltaA1916-associated capreomycin resistance. These...
