Abstract excerpt
Shine-Dalgarno sequences (SD) in prokaryotic mRNA facilitate protein translation by pairing with rRNA in ribosomes. Although conventionally defined as AG-rich motifs, recent genomic surveys reveal great sequence diversity, questioning how SD functions. Here, we determined the molecular fitness (i.e., translation efficiency) of 49 synthetic 9-nt SD genotypes in three distinct mRNA contexts in Escherichia coli We...
