Abstract excerpt
Two suppressor mutations of the temperature-sensitive DNA primase mutant dnaG2903 have been characterized. The gene responsible for suppression, era, encodes an essential GTPase of Escherichia coli. One mutation, rnc-15, is an insertion of an IS1 element within the leader region of the rnc operon and causes a polar defect on the downstream genes of the operon. A previously described polar mutation, rnc-40, was...
