Abstract excerpt
We have changed the translation initiation codon of the COX2 mRNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from AUG to AUA, generating a mutation termed cox2-10. This mutation reduced translation of the COX2 mRNA at least five-fold without affecting the steady-state level of the mRNA, and produced a leaky nonrespiratory growth phenotype. To address the question of whether residual translation of the cox2-10 mRNA was...
