Abstract excerpt
The 5' ends of RNA oligonucleotides in Escherichia coli were identified to assess the contributions of specific endoribonucleases to the cleaving of bulk mRNA. About 60% of the total 5' ends have a 5' OH, and 40% a phosphate. Of those oligonucleotides with a 5'-OH end, 55% of the larger-sized molecules started with 5'-OH-A. With decreasing size there was a progressive decrease in its relative abundance, reaching...
