Mutations upstream of the ribosome-binding site affect translational efficiency.

Abstract:

:The DNA coding for the major outer membrane lipoprotein of Escherichia coli has been fused to the coding region of the beta-galactosidase gene to measure the effect of various mutations on the efficiency of translation initiation. The various mutants were made by either inserting or deleting a small number of nucleotides into or from a region just upstream of the ribosome-binding site. These small mutations dramatically affect translation initiation as measured by the production of beta-galactosidase. We postulate that these mutations affect translation initiation by altering the secondary structure of the messenger RNA. In one case, we predict that a stem and loop just upstream of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence sterically hinders the binding of the ribosome to the mRNA.

  • A factor with Sp1 DNA-binding specificity stimulates Xenopus U6 snRNA in vivo transcription by RNA polymerase III.

    abstract::We have previously shown that transcription of the Xenopus U6 snRNA gene by RNA polymerase III is stimulated in injected Xenopus oocytes by an activator element termed the DSE, which contains an octamer sequence. Data presented here reveal that the DSE contains, in addition, a GC-rich sequence capable of binding Sp1. ...
