Model for translation re-initiation in E. coli. Proposed molecular events occurring between translation termination at the upstream gene (light grey bar) and subsequent re-initiation at the downstream gene (dark grey bar). IF2 enhances re-initiation efficiency, while elevated levels of IF3 decrease it. Our results also suggest that a 30S ribosomal subunit is used for accurate translation re-initiation.
