The structure and function of tRNA-like domain in E. coli tmRNA

tmRNA has a dual function both as a tRNA and as an mRNA in trans-translation. tmRNA possesses structural elements similar to canonical tRNAs. Our mutation studies show that the tRNA-like structure is crucial for function as an mRNA as well as a tRNA.
