Abstract
Several features of translation and ribosome structure in extremely thermophilic, sulfur-dependent archaebacteria are described, including: i) a peculiar mechanism of transfer RNA-mediated 70S ribosome formation from free subunits; ii) poly(U) translation by hybrid ribosomes composed by one archaebacterial and one eucaryotic subunit; iii) ribosome assembly and homologous and heterologous RNA/protein recognition.
