7.2.2.8	physiological function	the CopA chaperone is expressed in Escherichia coli from the same gene that encodes the transporter. Some ribosomes translating CopA undergo programmed frameshifting, terminate translation in the -1 frame, and generate the 70 aa-long polypeptide CopA(Z), which helps cells survive toxic copper concentrations. High efficiency of frameshifting is achieved by the combined stimulatory action of a slippery sequence, an mRNA pseudoknot, and the CopA nascent chain	Escherichia coli
