The initiation region of the MS2 replicase cistron can be isolated as a fragment 59 bases in length protected from RNAase by the binding of the coat protein which serves as a translational repressor. This fragment MS2 R(-53 leads to 6) starts 53 bases before the initiation codon and retains full activity in binding ribosomes. We have investigated the functional activity in initiation of a series of fragments from this region variously shortened from the 5'-end. Ribosome protected fragments starting 17 or 21 bases before the AUG are unable to rebind to ribosomes. The shortest fragment which has this activity was produced by partial S1 nuclease digestion and starts 33 to 35 bases before the AUG. The initiation signal comprises some nucleotides between 21 and 33 bases before the initiation codon and the regulatory region responsible for initiation is longer than that protected by the ribosome in the final initiation complex.

D010442 Peptide Chain Initiation, Translational A process of GENETIC TRANSLATION whereby the formation of a peptide chain is started. It includes assembly of the RIBOSOME components, the MESSENGER RNA coding for the polypeptide to be made, INITIATOR TRNA, and PEPTIDE INITIATION FACTORS; and placement of the first amino acid in the peptide chain. The details and components of this process are unique for prokaryotic protein biosynthesis and eukaryotic protein biosynthesis.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
