Abstract excerpt
The co-transcribed leader sequences of bacterial rRNA are known to affect the structure and function of the small ribosomal subunits. Base changes in the leader nut -like sequence elements have been shown to cause misfolded but correctly processed 16S rRNA structures at low growth temperature. Transient interactions of leader sequences with the nascent 16S rRNA are considered to guide rRNA folding and to...
