Abstract excerpt
An efficient -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) signal requires an RNA slippery sequence and a downstream RNA stimulator, and the hairpin-type pseudoknot is the most common stimulator. However, a pseudoknot is not sufficient to promote -1 PRF. hTPK-DU177, a pseudoknot derived from human telomerase RNA, shares structural similarities with several -1 PRF pseudoknots and is used to dissect the roles of...
