Abstract excerpt
RNase G (rng) is an E. coli endoribonuclease that is homologous to the catalytic domain of RNase E (rne), an essential protein that is a major participant in tRNA maturation, mRNA decay, rRNA processing and M1 RNA processing. We demonstrate here that whereas RNase G inefficiently participates in the degradation of mRNAs and the processing of 9S rRNA, it is not involved in either tRNA or M1 RNA processing. This...
