The inhibition of protein synthesis from the reporter +7 AGA lacZ construct depends inversely on the length of the AGAAGAUAA minigenes. (A) In vitro transcription–translation reactions were directed by: +7 AGA lacZ (a); +7 placZ plus: placZ2-3AGAGAUAA (b); placZ3-4AGAAGAUAA (c); placZ4-5AGAAGAUAA (d); placZ5-6AGAAGAUAA (e); placZ6-7AGAAGAUAA (f); placZ7-8AGAAGAUAA (g). The mobility of β-galactosidase (β-gal) and β-lactamase (β-lac) is indicated. β-Gal absolute radioactivity levels are indicated as electronic density values (pixels, shown below each lane). (B) In vitro reactions were primed as in (A) but lacZ replaced +7 AGA lacZ. β-Gal synthesis from the reporter +7 AGA lacZ (C) or lacZ (D) constructs was plotted against minigene length.
