Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli RNase E contains a site that selectively binds to RNAs containing 5'-monophosphate termini, increasing the efficiency of endonucleolytic cleavage of these RNAs. Random mutagenesis of N-Rne, the N-terminal catalytic region of RNase E, identified a hyperactive variant that remains preferentially responsive to phosphorylation at 5' termini. Biochemical analyses showed that the mutation (Q36R), which...
