Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, archaea, and in some eubacteria, removal of 3' precursor sequences during maturation of tRNA is catalyzed by an endoribonuclease, termed RNase Z. In contrast, in Escherichia coli, a variety of exoribonucleases carry out final 3' maturation. Yet, E. coli retains an RNase Z homologue, ElaC, whose function is under active study. We have overexpressed and purified to homogeneity His-tagged ElaC and...
