A Stress-Induced Bias in the Reading of the Genetic Code in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli mazEF is an extensively studied stress-induced toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. The toxin MazF is an endoribonuclease that cleaves RNAs at ACA sites. Thereby, under stress, the induced MazF generates a stress-induced translation machinery (STM), composed of MazF-processed mRNAs...
