Abstract excerpt
During trans-translation, stalled bacterial ribosomes are rescued by small protein B (SmpB) and by transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA). Stalled ribosomes switch translation from the defective messages to a short internal reading frame on tmRNA that tags the nascent peptide chain for degradation and recycles the ribosomes. We present evidences that SmpB binds the large and small ribosomal subunits in vivo and in vitro....
