Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli RNase E is known to process RNA precursors at specific sites. We show that this endoribonuclease has a general role in E. coli mRNA turnover and affects the stability of specific transcripts. The effect of the rne mutation on functional stability of mRNA was much less pronounced than that on chemical stability, although the expression of some genes was affected. The E. coli ams (altered mRNA...
