Shine-Dalgarno sequence of bacteriophage T4: GAGG prevails in early genes.
Molecular biology reports - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt
Translation initiation is governed by a limited number of mRNA sequence motifs within the translation initiation region (TIR). In bacteria and bacteriophages, one of the most important determinants is a Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence that base pairs with the anti-SD sequence GAUCACCUCCUUA localized in the 3' end of 16S rRNA. This work assesses a diversity of TIR features in phage T4, focusing on the SD sequence,...
