Translation of natural mRNAs in vitro by extracts of a mutant in protein synthesis

Nature volume 256, pages 678–679 (1975)Cite this article

Abstract

NATURAL mRNAs contain specific signals for initiation and termination of protein synthesis1,2. To further understand these processes and their regulation in the cell, we have been screening mutants defective in translation of natural mRNAs but not of artificial templates.
