Abstract excerpt
Transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) is a unique molecule that combines properties from both tRNA and mRNA, and facilitates a novel translation reaction termed trans -translation. According to phylogenetic sequence analysis among various bacteria and chemical probing analysis, the secondary structure of the 350-400 nt RNA is commonly characterized by a tRNA-like structure, and four pseudoknots with different sizes. A...
