Abstract

In many bacteria, separate genes encode a copper binding chaperone and a copper efflux pump, but in somethe chaperone encoding gene has been elusive. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Meydan etal. (2017) report that ribosomes translating the ORF that encodes the copper pump frequently frameshift and terminate to produce the copper chaperone.
