Figure 1From: Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expressionA scheme for the nonlinear expression of Thermus thermophilus dnaX via transcriptional slippage. Transcription of dnaX results in synthesis of a population of mRNAs in which the sequence 3' of the slippery AAAAAAAAA is framed in different molecules in all three reading frames relative to sequence 5' of the slippery motif.Back to article page
