Structures of tmRNA and SmpB as they transit through the ribosome
Trans-translation, mediated by small protein B (SmpB) and transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), enables recycling of the ribosomes stalled on defective mRNAs in bacteria. Here, the authors report structures of the ribosome during trans-translation that reveal a translocation intermediate and elucidate the...
