Abstract excerpt
Rates of ribosomal selection of both release factor 1 (RF1) and a suppressor tRNA (Su7C33) were studied at an amber codon at which the 3' neighbor was permuted. Rates of RF1 selection vary 2.6-fold among contexts. The 3' neighbor-dependent variation of RF1 action correlates very strongly with the non-random frequencies of 3' neighbors at UAG terminators (r = 0.97), which argues that the rate of RF1 selection is...
