Abstract
A cluster of four tRNA genes in Escherichia coli is co-transcribed with an adjacent gene encoding elongation factor Tu. The resultant transcript that specifies both structural (tRNA) and informational (mRNA) RNA may not be an uncommon occurrence and has interesting regulatory implications.Keywords
