Disease relevance of infA

 

High impact information on infA

 

Chemical compound and disease context of infA

  • Starting from a synthetic modular gene (infA) encoding Escherichia coli translation initiation factor IF1, we have constructed mutants in which amino acids are deleted from the carboxyl terminus or in which His29 or His34 are replaced by Tyr or Asp residues [5].
 

Anatomical context of infA

 

Associations of infA with chemical compounds

  • The purpose of our study was to examine the expression of a cluster of genes that are required for translation in C. trachomatis serovar F: infA (encoding Initiation Factor 1), tRNA(Thr), tuf (encoding Elongation Factor Tu), and tRNA(Trp) [7].
