RtcB increases translation elongation speed in vivo

The impact of RtcB on the functioning of the translation apparatus was measured in vivo using β-galactosidase based assays and growth assays. RtcB (A) increases translation elongation speed,

(B) has no effect on translation fidelity,

(C and D) increases cell growth and (D) increases cell growth rate in early exponential phase. Data are shown as mean and error bars represent standard deviation from the mean of triplicates. ns = non-significant (p-value > 0.05).
