title: In vitro analysis of the initial steps of trans-translation.
abstract: tmRNA has a dual function both as tRNA and mRNA and facilitates trans-translation. We observed the tagging derived from tmRNA from Bacillus subtilis in vivo and in vitro. Our studies give progressive suggestions on the mechanism of trans-translation.
