Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, rRNA operons are transcribed as 30S precursor molecules that must be extensively processed to generate mature 16S, 23S and 5S rRNA. While it is known that RNase III cleaves the primary transcript to separate the individual rRNAs, there is little information about the secondary processing reactions needed to form their mature 3' and 5' termini. We have now found that inactivation of the...
