Abstract excerpt
The RegB endoribonuclease from bacteriophage T4 cleaves early mRNAs specifically in the middle of the sequence GGAG. We show here that RegB is required for the degradation of bulk T4 early mRNA. In the absence of RegB, the chemical half-life of early transcripts is increased nearly fourfold, whereas their functional half-life is increased twofold. RegB also regulates the translation of several prereplicative...
