==Overview==

Coordinated translocation of the tRNA-mRNA complex by the ribosome occurs, in a precise, stepwise movement corresponding to a distance of three, nucleotides along the mRNA. Frameshift suppressor tRNAs generally contain, an extra nucleotide in the anticodon loop and they subvert the normal, mechanisms used by the ribosome for frame maintenance. The mechanism by, which suppressor tRNAs traverse the ribosome during translocation is, poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate translocation of a tRNA by four, nucleotides from the A site to the P site, and from the P site to the E, site. We show that translocation of a punctuated mRNA is possible with an, extra, unpaired nucleotide between codons. Interestingly, the NMR, structure of the four nucleotide anticodon stem-loop reveals a, conformation different from the canonical tRNA structure. Flexibility, within the loop may allow conformational adjustment upon A site binding, and for interacting with the four nucleotide codon in order to shift the, mRNA reading frame.
