Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli rng gene (previously called cafA) encodes a novel RNase, named RNase G, which is involved in the 5' end-processing of 16S rRNA. In rng mutant cells, a precursor form of 16S rRNA, 16.3S rRNA, is accumulated. Here we report a role of RNase G in the in vivo mRNA metabolism. RESULTS: We found that rng:cat mutant strains overproduced a protein of about 100 kDa. N-terminal amino acid...
