Abstract excerpt
Ribonuclease J is an essential enzyme, and the Bacillus subtilis ortholog possesses both endoribonuclease and 5' → 3' exoribonuclease activities. Chloroplasts also contain RNase J, which has been postulated to participate, as both an exo- and endonuclease, in the maturation of polycistronic mRNAs. Here we have examined recombinant Arabidopsis RNase J and found both 5' → 3' exoribonuclease and endonucleolytic...
