Abstract excerpt
The small and large subunits of the ribosome are held together by a series of bridges, involving RNA-RNA, RNA-protein and protein-protein interactions. Some 12 bridges have been described for the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome. In this work, we have targeted for mutagenesis, some of the 16S rRNA residues involved in the formation of intersubunit bridges B3, B5, B6, B7b and B8. In addition to effects on subunit...
