Abstract excerpt
ermC methylase gene expression has been shown to be limited by translational autorepression, presumably due to methylase binding to ermC mRNA. It was found that this repression occurs in trans, yielding a 50% reduction in translation of an ermC-lacZ fusion mRNA. We investigated the ermC mRNA sequences required for translational repression in vivo. A series of deletions identified sequences in the 5' regulatory...
