چکیده
The discovery of programmed -1 frameshifting at the hexanucleotide shift site CGA_AAG, in addition to the classical X_XXY_YYZ heptanucleotide shift sequences, prompted a search for instances among eubacterial insertion sequence elements. IS1222 has a CGA_AAG shift site. A genetic analysis revealed that frameshifting at this site is required for transposition.

Sequence requirements for efficient translational frameshifting in the Escherichia coli dnaX gene and the role of an unstable interaction between tRNA(Lys) and an AAG lysine codon.
Synthesis of the gamma-subunit of DNA polymerase III holoenzyme depends on precise and efficient translational frameshifting to the -1 frame at a specific site in the dnaX gene of Escherichia coli. In vitro mutagenesis of this frameshift site demonstrated the importance of an A AAA AAG heptanucleotide sequence, which allows two adjacent tRNAs to retain a stable interaction with mRNA after they ...
متن کاملOn the directional specificity of ribosome frameshifting at a "hungry" codon.
Limitation for aminoacyl-tRNA promotes ribosome frameshifting at certain sites. We have previously demonstrated ribosome frameshifting to the right (3') at an AAG site in one context, and to the left (5') at an AAG site in a different context. Here, we demonstrate that the "rightwing" context is largely specific for frameshifting to the right, and the "leftwing" context is largely specific for ...
متن کاملAsc1, homolog of human RACK1, prevents frameshifting in yeast by ribosomes stalled at CGA codon repeats.
Quality control systems monitor and stop translation at some ribosomal stalls, but it is unknown if halting translation at such stalls actually prevents synthesis of abnormal polypeptides. In yeast, ribosome stalling occurs at Arg CGA codon repeats, with even two consecutive CGA codons able to reduce translation by up to 50%. The conserved eukaryotic Asc1 protein limits translation through inte...
متن کاملHigh-level ribosomal frameshifting directs the synthesis of IS150 gene products.
IS150 contains two tandem, out-of-phase, overlapping genes, ins150A and ins150B, which are controlled by the same promoter. These genes encode proteins of 19 and 31 kD, respectively. A third protein of 49 kD is a transframe gene product consisting of domains encoded by both genes. Specific -1 ribosomal frameshifting is responsible for the synthesis of the large protein. Expression of ins150B al...
متن کاملThe gateway pDEST17 expression vector encodes a −1 ribosomal frameshifting sequence
The attB1 site in the Gateway (Invitrogen) bacterial expression vector pDEST17, necessary for in vitro site-specific recombination, contains the sequence AAA-AAA. The sequence A-AAA-AAG within the Escherichia coli dnaX gene is recognized as 'slippery' and promotes -1 translational frameshifting. We show here, by expressing in E. coli several plant cDNAs with and without single nucleotide deleti...
