Effect of removing the ndhC termination codon and introducing premature termination codons on ndhK translation. (A) Test mRNA sequences around S3. Predicted amino acid sequences from ndhC and ndhK are shown above and below, respectively. Lowercase nt represents altered nt. Asterisks with lines indicate the ndhC termination codons. The termination codon in mT1 is located 22 codons further downstream (data not shown). (B) Gel patterns of products. (C) Translation efficiencies are shown as in Fig. 1D.
