Eubacterial tmRNAs (10Sa RNAs) are unique because they function, at least in Escherichia coli , both as tRNA and mRNA (for a review, see Muto et al., 1998). These ∼360 ± 40-nt-long RNAs are charged with alanine at their 3′ ends by alanyl-tRNA synthetases or AlaRS (Komine et al., 1994; Ushida et al., 1994). Alanylation occurs thanks to the presence of the equivalent of the G 3 -U 70 pair, the major identity element for the alanylation of canonical tRNAs (Hou & Schimmel, 1988; McClain & Foss, 1988). Bacterial tmRNAs also have a short reading frame coding for 9 to 27 amino acids, depending on the species. E. coli tmRNA mediates recycling of ribosomes stalled at the end of terminatorless mRNAs, via a trans -translation process (Tu et al., 1995; Keiler et al., 1996; Himeno et al., 1997; Withey & Friedman, 1999). In E. coli , this amino acid tag is cotranslationally added to polypeptides synthesized from mRNAs lacking a termination codon, and the added 11-amino-acid C-terminal tag makes the protein a target for specific proteolysis (Keiler et al., 1996).
