Abstract excerpt
The L15 region of Escherichia coli RNase P RNA forms two Watson-Crick base pairs with precursor tRNA 3'-CCA termini (G292-C75 and G293-C74). Here, we analyzed the phenotypes associated with disruption of the G292-C75 or G293-C74 pair in vivo. Mutant RNase P RNA alleles (rnpBC292 and rnpBC293) caused severe growth defects in the E. coli rnpB mutant strain DW2 and abolished growth in the newly constructed mutant...
