Abstract | In bacteria, transcription and translation take place in the same cellular compartment. Therefore, a messenger RNA can be translated as it is being transcribed, a process known as transcription-translation coupling. This process was already recognized at the dawn of molecular biology, yet the interplay between the two key players, the RNA polymerase and ribosome, remains elusive. Genetic data indicate that an RNA sequence can be translated shortly after it has been transcribed. The closer both processes are in time, the less accessible the RNA sequence is between the RNA polymerase and ribosome. This temporal coupling has important consequences for gene regulation. Biochemical and structural studies have detailed several complexes between the RNA polymerase and ribosome. The in vivo relevance of this physical coupling has not been formally demonstrated. We discuss how both temporal and physical coupling may mesh to produce the phenomenon we know as transcription-translation coupling. |
