In prokaryotes, transcription–translation coupling is thought to guarantee the synthesis of high-quality mRNAs and surveil foreign genes. Surprisingly, Johnson et al. show that translation is uncoupled from transcription in Bacillus subtilis, arguing that bacteria utilize very diverse gene expression strategies to meet their unique regulatory needs.

RNAP 和先导核糖体之间的差距不断扩大

在原核生物中，转录-翻译耦合被认为可以保证高质量 mRNA 的合成并监视外源基因。令人惊讶的是，约翰逊等人。研究表明，枯草芽孢杆菌中的翻译与转录是分离的，认为细菌利用非常多样化的基因表达策略来满足其独特的调节需求。
