Deskripsi

Translational frameshifting is a mechanism that expands the coding capabilities of mRNA. Here, structures of 70S ribosome complexes with GTPase elongation factor G (EF-G), a +1-frameshifting-prone mRNA and tRNAs reveal the cooperation between the ribosome and EF-G to induce +1 frameshifting during the translocation step.
