Abstract

Messenger RNA decay in Escherichia coli has largely focused on the mRNA structure and a number of ribonucleases. Studies have shown that the mrsC gene effectively lengthen mRNA turnover in E. coli. This gene was characterized and mapped near the argG gene at the 69 min region on the E. coli chromosome. An analysis of the different mutations in this gene which regulate growth and mRNA turnover in E. coli is presented.

Abstract

Studies have shown that the mrsC gene effectively lengthens mRNA turnover in Escherichia coli. This gene was characterized and was found to be nearly identical to a gene coding for a number of ATP binding proteins. Genetic analyses revealed that this gene is able to impart stability to heat-labile mRNA from HflB mutants indicating that the mrsC gene is an allele of the hflB gene in E. coli.
