Suppression of rpsL phenotypes by tuf mutations reveals a unique relationship between translation elongation and growth rate.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 1993

Tubulekas I, Hughes D

Abstract excerpt

We have found a simple relationship between bacterial growth rate and the translation elongation rate. Thus, for a set of defined ribosomal protein S12 mutations which reduce the efficiency of the ternary complex ribosome interaction (and restrict the frequency of translational errors) there is a...
