IDENTIFICATION OF THE CONSERVED STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN THE RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L10 WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE AUTOGENOUS REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION IN,THE rplJL OPERON OF ENTEROBACTERIA

F. A. Tereshchenko E. B. Paton

We analyzed the structural elements of the ribosomal protein L10 which are essential for interaction with the mRNA target sites and therefore for execution of the autogenous control of expression of the rplJL genes in Enterobacteria. The following structural elements of the L10 protein might be essential the feed¬back regulatory for LlO-mRNA interaction: the conserved-kNTll-motif, the -Eif-motif and the alpha-beta-alpha (98—111) domain.
