Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of the mechanism of protein synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria has remained largely unexplored because of the unavailability of appropriate in vivo assay systems. We developed chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT)-based in vivo reporter systems to study translation initiation and elongation in Mycobacterium smegmatis The CAT reporters utilize specific decoding of amber codons by mutant...
