idlP

Gene
idlP
Protein
iraD leader peptide
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Length
27 amino acids
Function
A short protein whose stop codon overlaps with the start codon of downstream iraD; its mRNA secondary structure is predicted to fold and sequester the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of iraD. When this protein is expressed the downstream iraD is also expressed due to ribosomal coupling (PubMed:28851853).
