Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Wills, Norma M. | rRNA-mRNA base pairing stimulates a programmed -1 ribosomal frameshift | Base pairing between the 3' end of 16S rRNA and mRNA is shown to be important for the programmed -1 frameshifting utilized in decoding the Escherichia coli dnaX gene. This pairing is the same as the Shine-Dalgarno pairing used by prokaryotic ribosomes in selection of translation initiators, but for ... | Frameshifting; Escherichia coli; Binding Sites; Base Composition | 1994 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Ingram, Jennifer A.; Kelly, Paul J.; Grentzmann, Guido | Dual-luciferase reporter system for studying recoding signals | A new reporter system has been developed for measuring translation coupling efficiency of recoding mechanisms such as frameshifting or readthrough. A recoding test sequence is cloned in between the renilla and firefly luciferase reporter genes and the two luciferase activities are subsequently measu... | Amino Acid Sequence; Genes, Reporter; HIV; Antizyme; Translation | 1998 |
