Genes for tRNA(Arg) located in the upstream region of the Shiga toxin II operon in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7.
We found two genes for tRNA(Arg) in the region upstream of genes for Shiga-like toxin type II (SLT-II) in Escherichia coli O157:H7. The two encoded forms of tRNA(Arg) recognize rare codons in E. coli K12 but these rare codons occur in the toxin genes at high frequency.
