Site-specific 3'-terminal deletions in Escherichia coli 16S rRNA and the effect on assembly of 30S ribosomal subunits

Creator:

Abdul-Latif, Fazilah

Abstract:

The ribosome is a central component of the protein synthetic apparatus. It is a macromolecular complex of protein and RNA. Although much progress has been made in understanding the functional role of the proteins in this particle, little is known of the functional role which the RNA plays. Naturally occurring...

Modulation of translational fidelity by small subunit ribosoma RNA from Escherichia coli

Creator:

Abdul-Latif, Fazilah

Abstract:

Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein particles that are essential for the process of protein synthesis in all living systems. Escherichia coli, eubacterial organisms, have ribosomes which display a 70S sedimentation coefficient. They are formed by the association of two ribonucleoprotein subunits which sediment at 50S and 30S. The 30S subunit is a...
