A Translation-Aborting Small Open Reading Frame in the Intergenic Region Promotes Translation of a Mg <sup>2+</sup> Transporter in <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium

Translation initiation regions in mRNAs that include the ribosome-binding site (RBS) and the start codon are often sequestered within a secondary structure. Therefore, to initiate protein synthesis, the mRNA secondary structure must be unfolded to allow the RBS to be accessible to the ribosome.
