Abstract excerpt
Helix 69 of 23S rRNA forms one of the major inter-subunit bridges of the 70S ribosome and interacts with A- and P-site tRNAs and translation factors. Despite the proximity of h69 to the decoding center and tRNAs, the contribution of h69 to the tRNA selection process is unclear: previous genetic analyses have shown that h69 mutations increase frameshifting and readthrough of stop codons. However, a complete...
