Leaderless genes in bacteria: clue to the evolution of translation initiation mechanisms in prokaryotes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Shine-Dalgarno (SD) signal has long been viewed as the dominant translation initiation signal in prokaryotes. Recently, leaderless genes, which lack 5'-untranslated regions (5'-UTR) on their mRNAs, have been shown abundant...
