N-Formylated (N-f-met) peptides derived from proteins of the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes generate a protective, H2-M3-restricted CD8 T cell response in C57BL/6 mice. N-f-met peptide-specific CTL were generated in vitro when mice previously immunized with gp96 isolated from donor mice

Although the elongating ribosome is an efficient helicase, certain mRNA stem-loop structures are known to impede ribosome movement along mRNA and stimulate programmed ribosome frameshifting via mechanisms that are not well understood. Using biochemical and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer

Messenger-RNA-directed protein synthesis is accomplished by the ribosome. In eubacteria, this complex process is initiated by a specialized transfer RNA charged with formylmethionine (tRNA(fMet)). The amino-terminal formylated methionine of all bacterial nascent polypeptides blocks the reactive amino group to prevent

H2-M3-restricted presentation of N-formyl methionine (f-Met) peptides to CD8(+) T cells provides a mechanism for selective recognition of bacterial infection. In this report we demonstrate that Listeria monocytogenes infection induces distinct CD8(+) T cell populations specific for each of the

The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation during protein synthesis. Its peptidyl transferase activity has often been studied using a 'fragment assay' that depends on high concentrations of methanol or ethanol. Here we describe a version of this assay
