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.
通过电子显微镜观察到,多核糖体直接附着在从嗜热古菌科氏嗜热栖热菌裂解细胞中挤出的基因组DNA分散链上。这些复合物与该古菌中的转录和翻译偶联一致,即转录本在完成之前就开始进行翻译。
