Abstract excerpt
Mutations in several functionally important regions of the 23S rRNA of E. coli increase the levels of frameshifting and readthrough of stop codons. These mutations include U2555A, U2555G, DeltaA1916 and U2493C. The mutant rRNAs are lethal when expressed at high levels from a plasmid, in strains also expressing wild type rRNA from chromosomal rrn operons. The lethal phenotype can be suppressed by a range of...
