Abstract excerpt
RNase M, an enzyme previously purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli, was suggested to be the RNase responsible for mRNA degradation in this bacterium. Although related to the endoribonuclease, RNase I, its distinct properties led to the conclusion that RNase M was a second, low molecular mass, broad specificity endoribonuclease present in E. coli. However, based on sequence analysis, southern...
