由tRNA引导的转录抗终止机制普遍存在于革兰氏阳性细菌中,调控氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因和与氨基酸合成有关的酶基因的表达. 当某种氨基酸缺乏时,与其相关的tRNA增多. tRNA通过反密码子和3′接受末端与前导mRNA的特异序列和T框作用,促进前导mRNA中的终止子结构转变为抗终止子结构,使转录复合物能够通读,从而实现基因的表达.
A tRNA-directed transcription antitermination mechanism is common in Gram-positive bacteria, regulating the expression of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase and amino acid biosynthesis genes. When the level of an amino acid decreases, the cognate uncharged-tRNA accumulates. Uncharged-tRNA stimulates the conformation of mRNA leader region to change from a terminator structure to an antiterminator structure by interaction of two sites: the anticodon and 3′ acceptor end of tRNA interact with the specifier sequence and the T-box in mRNA leader, respectively. This procedure promotes the readthrough and the expression of the relative genes.
