Abstract excerpt
Era is a low-molecular-weight GTPase essential for Escherichia coli viability. The gene encoding Era is found in the rnc operon, and the synthesis of both RNase III and Era increases with growth rate. Mutants that are partially defective in Era GTPase activity or that are reduced in the synthesis...
