Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli cells contain abundant amounts of metabolically stable 4.5 S RNA. Consisting of 114 nucleotides, 4.5 S RNA is structurally homologous to mammalian 7 S RNA, and it plays an essential role in targeting proteins containing signal peptide to the secretory apparatus by forming an signal recognition-like particle with Ffh protein. It also binds independently to protein elongation factor G (EF-G) and...
