Abstract excerpt
The effect of 3'-exoribonucleases on the polyadenylation of mRNA in Escherichia coli was studied by comparing the synthesis and levels of poly(A) RNA in wild-type E coli and mutant strains defective in the two major 3'-exoribonucleases: polynucleotide phosphorylase and ribonuclease II. Mutations which substantially reduced the activity of these 3'-exonucleases caused a 10-fold increase in pulse-labeling of total...
