Promoter-proximal transcription is critical for producing translatable mRNAs in Escherichia coli, ensuring proper gene expression.
Transcription coupled to translation prevents premature termination and mRNA decay, supporting effective mRNA stability.
RNA polymerase elongates mRNA by only 80-90 bp when not coupled with ribosomes, limiting early transcription.
Inhibition of untranslatable mRNAs from the promoter-proximal region is essential for mRNA quality control via transcription-translation coupling.
