1. Study on the Function of Translation Initiation Factor IF1
Sammanfattning : Initiation is the first step in protein biosynthesis representing a fundamental event in cell life which determines fidelity, efficiency and regulation of gene expression. In addition to the ribosome and mRNA, three protein factors IF1, IF2 and IF3 are involved in the initiation of translation in prokaryotes. LÄS MER
2. The Role of the Escherichia coli RNA Polymerase β´Jaw in Transcription
Sammanfattning : Transcription, the central step in gene expression and regulation, is carried out by the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP). Bacterial RNAP is a complex molecular machine in which the network of interacting parts and their movements, including contacts to nascent RNA and the DNA template, are at best partially understood.

3. Studies on Translation Initiation and Termination in Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Translation initiation factor 1 (IF1) has been shown to be an RNA chaperone. In order to find functional interactions that IF1 may have with rRNA, we have isolated second-site suppressors of a cold-sensitive IF1 mutant. LÄS MER
4. Studies on the functional interaction of translation initiation factor IF1 with ribosomal RNA
Sammanfattning : Translation initiation factor IF1 is a small, essential and ubiquitous protein factor encoded by a single infA gene in bacteria. Although several important functions have been attributed to IF1, the precise reason for its indispensability is yet to be defined. LÄS MER
5. Studies on Translation Initiation and trans-Translation
Sammanfattning : Translation initiation factor 1 (IF1) is an essential bacterial protein, without any clearly defined function in translation initiation. Same point mutants in this protein exhibit cold-sensitivity. In addition, a sequence specific increase in test protein expression has been observed for these mutants. LÄS MER
