Abstract excerpt
The rpmB,G operon of Escherichia coli codes for the synthesis of ribosomal proteins L28 and L33. In one mutant strain (TP28), these two proteins are made at about half their normal rates, ribosome assembly is greatly perturbed and precursor particles accumulate. The mutation in strain TP28 is in a Shine-Dalgarno sequence in the leader region of the rpmB,G messenger RNA. Another mutant, strain AM108, makes neither...
