Abstract excerpt
It was established some time ago that the deletion of base C1054 in E. coli 16S rRNA specifically affects UGA-dependent termination of translation. Based on this observation, a model for the termination event was proposed in which the UGA nonsense codon on the mRNA base-pairs with a complementary motif in 'helix 34' of the 16S rRNA, thus potentially providing a recognition signal for the binding of the release...
