Abstract excerpt
The exit (E) site has been implicated in several ribosomal activities, including translocation, decoding, and maintenance of the translational reading frame. Here, we target the 30S subunit E site by introducing a deletion in rpsG that truncates the beta-hairpin of ribosomal protein S7. This mutation (S7DeltaR77-Y84) increases both -1 and +1 frameshifting but does not increase miscoding, providing evidence that...
