Abstract excerpt
Mutations in domain II of Escherichia coli 23 S rRNA that cause resistance to erythromycin do so in a manner fundamentally different from mutations at the drug binding site in domain V of the 23 S rRNA. The domain II mutations are located in a hairpin structure between nucleotides 1198 and 1247. This is close to a short open reading frame in the 23 S rRNA that encodes a pentapeptide (E-peptide) whose expression...
