Cooperative and Independent Functionality of tmRNA and SmpB: A Multifunctional Exploration Beyond Ribosome Rescue
2024-12-09
Abstract excerpt
The trans-translation system, mediated by transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA, encoded by the ssrA gene) and its partner protein SmpB, helps release ribosomes stalled on defective mRNA and targets incomplete protein products for hydrolysis. Knocking out the ssrA and smpB genes in various pathogens leads to different phenotypic changes, indicating that they have both cooperative and independent functionalities. This stud...
