Abstract excerpt
Differential expression of genes within the puf photosynthesis operon of Rhodobacter capsulatus is achieved primarily through marked segmental differences in stability within the polycistronic puf operon transcripts. The comparatively stable pufBA segment of these transcripts outlives the labile pufLMX segment and accumulates as an abundant puf mRNA degradation intermediate. Here we present further evidence that...
