| Comments: | The full-length infC-rpmI-rplT-ysdA transcript is minor; the major transcript has a length of 1.4 kb and includes infC-rpmI-rplT, terminating at the terminator downstream of rplT. Transcriptional readthrough at this terminator was confirmed by RT-PCR experiments. The stem-loop upstream of infC is part of a terminator/antiterminator structure, as shown by Northern blotting, point mutations, lacZ fusions, and in-vitro transcription assays. Binding of the ribosomal protein L20 (RplT) to the nascent mRNA causes transcriptional termination. |
