摘要
The influence in vivo of mutated forms of translation initiation factor (IF1) on the expression of the lacZ or 3A' reporter genes, with different initiation and/or +2 codons, has been investigated. Reporter gene expression in these infA(IF1) mutants is similar to the wild-type strain. The results do not support the longstanding hypothesis that IF1 could perform discriminatory functions while blocking the aminoacyl-tRNA acceptor site (A-site) of the ribosome. One cold-sensitive IF1 mutant shows a general overexpression, in particular at low temperatures, of both reporter genes at the protein but not mRNA level.
