STUDIES ON THE REGULATION OF ESCHER1CHIA COLI rplL GENE EXPRESSION BY CONSTRUCTION OF lad FUSIONS ON pNM481 PLASMID

Summary

    A series of recombinant pNM481-based plasmids has been constructed to study the regulation of E. coli rplL gene expression in vivo. Comparison of rplJ'-lacZ' and rplL'-lacZ' genes expression levels has revealed a more efficient initiation of translation for the latter. This might provide for the four-fold excess amount of L7/L12 as against L10 and all other E. coli ribosomal proteins.
