Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis small cytoplasmic RNA (scRNA) has an important, although not yet defined function in protein biosynthesis. Here we describe the mapping of the single copy scRNA gene and the flanking homolog to dnaZX of Escherichia coli, termed 'dnaX'. The scRNA gene region of a B. subtilis wild-type strain was marked with a cat gene and mapped by scoring chromosomal cotransformation rates of various mutant...
