The many paths to frameshifting: kinetic modelling and analysis of the effects of different elongation steps on programmed –1 ribosomal frameshifting
7 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Several important viruses including the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and the SARS-associated Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) employ programmed -1 ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) for their protein expression. Here, a kinetic framework is developed to describe -1 PRF. The model reveals three kinetic pathways to -1 PRF that yield two possible frameshift products: those incorporating zero frame encoded A-site...
