tmRNA_acceptor_piece [SO_0000770]

The acceptor region of a two-piece tmRNA that when mature is charged at its 3’ end with alanine. The tmRNA gene undergoes circular permutation in some groups of bacteria; processing of the transcripts from such a gene leaves the mature tmRNA in two pieces, base-paired together.
