Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli rluD gene encodes a pseudouridine synthase responsible for the pseudouridine (Ψ) modifications at positions 1911, 1915, and 1917 in helix 69 of 23S rRNA. It has been reported that deletion of rluD in K-12 strains of E. coli is associated with extremely slow growth, increased readthrough of stop codons, and defects in 50S ribosomal subunit assembly and 30S-50S subunit association. Suppressor...
