Abstract excerpt
We have isolated three new temperature-sensitive mutants of 16S rRNA, using the U1192 spectinomycin resistance as a selectable marker. These differ from our previously characterized ts mutants in that they map in the upstream leader region of the rRNA precursor (at positions -13, -30 and -59). The relative distribution of plasmid and chromosome-derived 16S rRNA is similar between 30S subunits, 70S ribosomes and...
