The lon Gene and Degradation of β-Galactosidase Nonsense Fragments

B Shineberg et al. J Bacteriol. 1973 Dec.

Abstract

N-terminal beta-galactosidase fragments are rapidly degraded in growing cells of Escherichia coli. Mutations in the lon gene are sufficient to enhance the stability of these polypeptides.
