Unique features in the ribosome binding site sequence of the gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus beta-lactamase gene.
Open accessAbstract
The base sequence of the ribosome binding site region of the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus beta-lactamase gene has been determined. The leader peptide sequence of 24 amino acids which precedes the NH2 terminus of extracellular S. aureus beta-lactamase has also been established. This initiation site possesses two unique features not observed for most initiation sites recognized by Escherichia coli ribosomes. A novel initiation codon, UUG, initiates protein synthesis with methionine; and a very strong Shine-Dalgarno complementarity containing five G-C base pairs precedes the UUG initiation codon. The strong Shine-Dalgarno complementarity may explain the reduced translational dependence on initiation factor IF-3 function that has been observed for the beta-lactamase mRNA and other mRNAs from Gram-positive bacteria. We suggest that this extent of complementarity between the mRNA and this extent of complementarity between the mRNA and the ribosome may be a requirement for efficient initiation by Bacillus subtilis and other Gram-positive ribosomes, and may provide the basis for the observed inability of the Gram-positive systems to translate most of the mRNAs from Gram-negative bacteria.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
