Sok antisense RNA from plasmid R1 is functionally inactivated by RNase E and polyadenylated by poly(A) polymerase I

Abstract
The hok/sok system of plasmid R1, which mediates plasmid stabilization by the killing of plasmid‐free cells, codes for two RNA species, Sok antisense RNA and hok mRNA. Sok RNA, which is unstable, inh...
