After a 37 to 10°C temperature downshift the level of translation initiation factor IF2, like that of IF1 and IF3, increases at least 3-fold with respect to the ribosomes. To clarify the mechanisms and conditions leading to cold-stress induction of infB expression, the consequences of this temperature shift on infB (IF2) transcription, infB mRNA stability and translation were analysed. The Escherichia coli gene encoding IF2 is part of the metY-nusA-infB operon that contains three known promoters ...[more]
