Abstract excerpt
We have developed a new method for isolating translation initiation sites based on the expression of Haemophilus influenzae Rd gene fusions with the Escherichia coli galactokinase (galK) gene. We cloned random DNA fragments of H. influenzae Rd DNA into a plasmid vector containing the galK coding sequence from which the translation initiation site (the ribosome binding site and translation initiation codon) had...
