Abstract excerpt

The oop RNA is a short (77 nucleotides (nt)) transcript encoded by bacteriophage lambda which acts as an antisense RNA for lambda cII gene expression. Recently we demonstrated that oop RNA is specifically polyadenylated at its 3' end by poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I), the pcnB gene product. Here we...
