Comments In about 70% of bacterial genomes the mRNA encoding RF-2 has 2 partially overlapping reading frames. Synthesis of full-length RF-2 requires +1 frameshifting at the end of the first open reading frame, usually on a UGA codon. This frameshifting serves an autoregulatory function; when RF-2 levels are low frameshifting occurs and full-length protein is produced.
