Abstract excerpt
Ribonuclease P (RNase P) is essential for the 5'-end maturation of tRNAs in all kingdoms of life. In Escherichia coli, temperature sensitive mutations in either its protein (rnpA49) and or RNA (rnpB709) subunits lead to inviability at nonpermissive temperatures. Using the rnpA49 temperature sensitive allele, which encodes a partially defective RNase P at the permissive temperature, we show here for the first time...
