Abstract excerpt
The expression of the chloramphenicol-inducible chloramphenicol-acetyltransferase gene (cat), encoded on Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pUB112, is regulated via a translational attenuation mechanism. Ribosomes, which are arrested by chloramphenicol during synthesis of a short leader peptide, activate catmRNA translation by opening a 5'-located stem-loop structure, thus setting free the cat ribosome-binding site....
