SOME MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF THE POSTTRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION OF PROCARYOTIC GENE EXPRESSION

Summary

    This review consist of parts dedicated to the molecular mechanisms of posttranscriptional control of gene expression. It is shown the mRNA degradation process, participation of REP-sequence in the regulation of gene expression, and also the determinants of expression on the level of transcriptional initiation: the Shaine — Dalgarno sequence, the distance from it to initiate-codone, initiated and second codones, and rare codones.
