Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in several organisms have shown that certain nascent sticky peptides stall in the ribosome during their own translation. Amino acid sequences present at the C-terminal part of Escherichia coli SecM ((150)FSTPVWISQAQGIRAGP(166)) have a well-characterized role in ribosome stalling. To investigate the determinants of the SecM motif responsible for ribosome stalling, we performed a genetic screen for...
