tmRNA

In these organisms, non-stop proteins are tagged by a marker known as tmRNA or ssrA, which then leads to their destruction.

Prokaryotes also have a special release factor called tmRNA, which provides a template for stalled ribosomes (ones that have stopped translating without meeting a stop codon, maybe because mRNA has been released too early by RNA polymerase).

We demonstrate that adding specific DNA helper oligonucleotides (chaperones) to the hybridization buffer increases the signal strength at a given temperature and thus makes the specific detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae tmRNA more sensitive.

The hybridization of synthetic Streptococcus pneumoniae tmRNA on a detection microarray is slow at 34C resulting in low signal intensities.

Ltn1 was the long-sought missing link for non-stop protein degradation-even though it looked nothing like tmRNA/ssrA.

The sensitivity of the detection of tmRNA at low temperature can be increased by chaperone oligonucleotides.
