Figure 7. Model for events during ribosome sliding.

Figure 7.

In this model translation is paused following the addition of the first lysine. The ribosome can than either slide or perform another round of peptide bond formation. If an AAA codon is positioned in the A site after sliding, the next step will also be slow, while if sliding results in a non-lysine codon in the A site, recovery from slow elongation may occur.
