Abstract excerpt
RNase E, an essential endoribonuclease in Escherichia coli, is involved in 9S rRNA processing, the degradation of many mRNAs, and the processing of the M1 RNA subunit of RNase P. However, the reason that RNase E is required for cell viability is still not fully understood. In fact, recent experiments have suggested that defects in 9S rRNA processing and mRNA decay are not responsible for the lack of cell growth...
