Leif Isaksson

The group studies aspects of translation initiation factor IF1 and its role in translation iniation and as a tool for plasmid stabilization in the absence of antibiotic selection.

The role of the translational initiation factor IF1 in E. coli

The role of the translational initiation factor IF1 in E. coli is studied by using mutants in the factor and their interactions with particular suppressor mutations in ribosomal RNA.

Suppression of a cold-sensitive mutant initiation factor 1 by alterations in the 23S rRNA maturation region
Mutations in 16S rRNA that suppress cold-sensitive initiation factor 1 affect ribosomal subunit association
Translation initiation region dependency of translation initiation in Escherichia coli by IF1 and kasugamycin
