General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction strains lacking the RumA methylase are gradually out-competed by wild type strains in growth competition experiments, suggesting that the m5U methylation improves ribosome performance. Base substitutions at U1939 in 23S rRNA have little effect on growth or the fidelity of translation, but alter the sensitivity of the ribosomes to the antibiotics fusidic acid and capreomycin Escherichia coli
