Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli tmRNA (transfer-messenger RNA) facilitates a trans-translation reaction in which a stalled ribosome on a terminatorless mRNA switches to an internal coding sequence in tmRNA, resulting in the addition of an 11 amino acid residue tag to the truncated protein that is a signal for degradation and in recycling of the stalled ribosome. A tmRNA secondary structure model with a partial tRNA-like...
