Failure of Translation Initiation of the Next Gene Decouples Transcription at Intercistronic Sites and the Resultant mRNA Generation

ABSTRACT In Escherichia coli, transcription is coupled with translation. The polar gal operon is transcribed galE-galT-galK-galM; however, about 10% of transcription terminates at the end of galE because of Rho-dependent termination (RDT). When galE translation is complete, galT translation should b...
