Abstract excerpt
Inducible expression of the erm erythromycin resistance genes relies on drug-dependent ribosome stalling. The molecular mechanisms underlying stalling are unknown. We used a cell-free translation system to elucidate the contribution of the nascent peptide, the drug, and the ribosome toward formation of the stalled complex during translation of the ermC leader cistron. Toe-printing mapping, selective amino acid...
