Rapid Translation of the Early Coding Region Promotes Premature Transcription Termination, Reducing Protein Expression in Escherichia coli.
It is proposed that excessively rapid synthesis of the N-terminal part of a polypeptide may impair its proper entry into the ribosomal exit tunnel, thereby disrupting transcription-translation coupling and exposing downstream mRNA to Rho-dependent termination.
