Exchange of spacer regions between rRNA operons in Escherichia coli.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1990

Harvey S, Hill C W

Abstract excerpt

The Escherichia coli rRNA operons each have one of two types of spacer separating the 16S and 23S coding regions. The spacers of four operons encode tRNA(Glu2) and the other three encode both tRNA(Ile) and tRNA(Ala1B). We have prepared a series of mutants in which the spacer region of a particula...
