The mechanism of initiation of translation differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and
the strategies used for regulation differ accordingly. Translation in prokaryotes is usually …

Valuable information on translation initiation is available from biochemical data and recently
solved structures. We present a detailed description of current knowledge about the …

Lactococcus lactis is a nonpathogenic AT-rich gram-positive bacterium closely related to the
genus Streptococcus and is the most commonly used cheese starter. It is also the best …

RNA-seq technologies have provided significant insight into the transcription networks of
mycobacteria. However, such studies provide no definitive information on the translational …

To elucidate an outline of the mechanism of eukaryotic translation initiation, 48S complex
formation was analyzed on defined mRNAs in reactions reconstituted in vitro from fully …

The small ribosomal subunit is responsible for the decoding of genetic information and plays
a key role in the initiation of protein synthesis. We analyzed by X‐ray crystallography the …

Initiation of mRNA translation is a major checkpoint for regulating level and fidelity of protein
synthesis. Being rate limiting in protein synthesis, translation initiation also represents the …

It is commonly believed that the translational efficiency of prokaryotic mRNAs is intrinsically
determined by both primary and secondary structures of their translational initiation regions …

It is generally accepted that translation in bacteria is initiated by 30S ribosomal subunits. In
contrast, several lines of rather indirect in vitro evidence suggest that 70S monosomes are …

Interactions between bacteriophage proteins and bacterial proteins are important for efficient
infection of the host cell. The phage proteins involved in these bacteriophage–host …
