A combination of mRNA features influence the efficiency of leaderless mRNA translation initiation
Bacterial translation is thought to initiate by base pairing of the 16S rRNA and the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in the mRNA's 5′ untranslated region (UTR). However, transcriptomics has revealed that leaderless mRNAs, which completely lack any 5′ UTR, are broadly distributed across bacteria and can...
