Decay of ermC mRNA in a polynucleotide phosphorylase mutant of Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1998

Bechhofer D H, Wang W

Abstract excerpt

ermC mRNA decay was examined in a mutant of Bacillus subtilis that has a deleted pnpA gene (coding for polynucleotide phosphorylase). 5'-proximal RNA fragments less than 400 nucleotides in length were abundant in the pnpA strain but barely detectable in the wild type. On the other hand, the patte...
