Decoding in the absence of a codon by tmRNA and SmpB in the ribosome.
In bacteria, ribosomes stalled at the end of truncated messages are rescued by transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), a bifunctional molecule that acts as both a transfer RNA (tRNA) and a messenger RNA (mRNA), and SmpB, a small protein that works in concert with tmRNA. Here, we present the crystal structure of a tmRNA fragment, SmpB and elongation factor Tu bound to the ribosome at 3.2 angstroms resol...
متن کاملtRNA/mRNA Mimicry by tmRNA and SmpB in Trans-Translation
Since accurate translation from mRNA to protein is critical to survival, cells have developed translational quality control systems. Bacterial ribosomes stalled on truncated mRNA are rescued by a system involving tmRNA and SmpB referred to as trans-translation. Here, we review current understanding of the mechanism of trans-translation. Based on results obtained by using directed hydroxyl radic...
متن کاملtmRNA-SmpB: a journey to the centre of the bacterial ribosome.
Ribosomes mediate protein synthesis by decoding the information carried by messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and catalysing peptide bond formation between amino acids. When bacterial ribosomes stall on incomplete messages, the trans-translation quality control mechanism is activated by the transfer-messenger RNA bound to small protein B (tmRNA-SmpB ribonucleoprotein complex). Trans-translation liberates t...
متن کاملEnds of the line for tmRNA-SmpB
Genes for the RNA tmRNA and protein SmpB, partners in the trans-translation process that rescues stalled ribosomes, have previously been found in all bacteria and some organelles. During a major update of The tmRNA Website (relocated to http://bioinformatics.sandia.gov/tmrna), including addition of an SmpB sequence database, we found some bacteria that lack functionally significant regions of S...
متن کاملStructure of small protein B: the protein component of the tmRNA-SmpB system for ribosome rescue.
Small protein B (SmpB) is an essential component of the highly conserved tmRNA-SmpB system that has the dual function of releasing stalled ribosomes from damaged messenger RNAs and targeting incompletely synthesized protein fragments for degradation. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of SmpB from Aquifex aeolicus revealed an antiparallel beta-barrel structure, with three helices packed ...
