Transcription and translation are coupled in Archaea

Sarah L French et al. Mol Biol Evol. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Polysomes have been visualized by electron microscopy attached directly to dispersed strands of genomic DNA extruded from lysed cells of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis. These complexes are consistent with transcription and translation being coupled in this Archaeon, with translation of transcripts being initiated before the transcript is complete.
