In bacteria, the translation of genetic information can begin through at least three different
mechanisms: canonical or Shine-Dalgarno-led initiation, readthrough or 70S scanning …

We determined the in vivo translational efficiency of 'unleadered'lacZ compared with a
conventionally leadered lacZ with and without a Shine–Dalgarno (SD) sequence in …

It is commonly believed that the translational efficiency of prokaryotic mRNAs is intrinsically
determined by both primary and secondary structures of their translational initiation regions …

Shine-Dalgarno (SD) motifs are thought to play an important role in translational initiation in
bacteria. Paradoxically, ribosome profiling studies in E. coli show no correlation between the …

In bacteria and archaea, translation initiates with a 30S ribosomal subunit interacting with an
initiator tRNA at the ribosome binding site on a canonical mRNA to form a stable translation …

It is generally accepted that translation in bacteria is initiated by 30S ribosomal subunits. In
contrast, several lines of rather indirect in vitro evidence suggest that 70S monosomes are …

Based on the complementarity of the initial coding region (downstream box [db]) of several
bacterial and phage mRNAs to bases 1469 to 1483 in helix 44 of 16S rRNA (anti …

In this study, we have examined the influence of initiation factors on translation initiation of
leaderless mRNAs whose 5′‐terminal residues are the A of the AUG initiating codon. A 1: 1 …

In eubacteria, the dissociation of the 70 S ribosome into the 30 S and 50 S subunits is the
essential first step for the translation initiation of canonical mRNAs that possess 5′-leader …

The initiation of translation is a fundamental and highly regulated process in gene
expression. Translation initiation in prokaryotic systems usually requires interaction between …
