Patchy and widespread distribution of bacterial translation arrest peptides associated with the protein localization machinery

Abstract Regulatory arrest peptides interact with specific residues on bacterial ribosomes and arrest their own translation. Here, we analyse over 30,000 bacterial genome sequences to identify additional Sec/YidC-related arrest peptides, followed by in vivo and in vitro analyses. We find that Sec/Yi...
