Abstract excerpt
In trans-translation, transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), possessing a dual function as a tRNA and an mRNA, relieves a stalled translation on the ribosome with the help of SmpB. Here, we established an in vitro system using Escherichia coli translation and trans-translation factors to evaluate two steps of trans-translation, peptidyl transfer from peptidyl-tRNA to alanyl-tmRNA and translation of the resume codon on...
